The primary data source for raster::getData is a UC server run by a single group. Sometimes, like today, it goes down when you are about to have students work with it. This backup copy of the data can be unzipped in the students home directory and everything will work as expected. This is /home/user on Linux and OSX and C:\Users\user\Documents on Windows.
