This is probably a good opportunity to switch to use the dportal downloader!
We’ve now switched to use the dportal downloader. We download using curl, and we’ve changed the User-Agent to something the ausgov server is happy with. Downloads work when running locally, but fail on heroku. I suspect the IP address has been blacklisted, though I’m not sure why this would be.
Switching to github actions has resolved this.
wget appears to get stuck while trying to download data from ausgov. Changing timeouts doesn’t appear to help.
I’ve just tried switching to curl, which might help.
