Unable to download DMSP/OLS for the year 2012. #19

Hi and congrats for the great package. I want to download just 1 raster of the DMSP/OLS for the year 2012. As I read in the documentation I only have to set the year but I am getting the following error: 2019-01-07 19:46:09: Downloading Error in utils::download.file(ntLtsFileUrl, ntLtsZipLocalNamePathOLS, : 'url' must be a length-one character vector I would like to ask if this is because of NOAA's site does not work at the moment or if it is because of me. My code is: if(Rnightlights:::downloadNlTilesOLS("2012")) print("download successful")**

Thank you for your time.

Hi,

Thank you. I am glad you are finding the package useful.

The error is because the NOAA site is down at the moment.
