Timeout issue downloading MODIS tiles

[micha-silver]

Similar to https://github.com/ropensci/MODIStsp/issues/74#issue-229199298, I am experiencing repeated timeouts over the past week or so.

Error in curl::curl_fetch_memory(url, handle = handle): Timeout was reached: [e4ftl01.cr.usgs.gov] Connection timed out after 10001 milliseconds
Request failed [ERROR]. Retrying in 2.6 seconds...
Error in curl::curl_fetch_memory(url, handle = handle): Timeout was reached: [e4ftl01.cr.usgs.gov] Connection timed out after 10001 milliseconds

Error in curl::curl_fetch_memory(url, handle = handle) : 
  Timeout was reached: [e4ftl01.cr.usgs.gov] Connection timed out after 10001 milliseconds
Error: [Tue Sep 29 15:29:09 2020] Error: http server seems to be down! Please try again later. Aborting!

Has anyone else seen this? On some days the download goes fine for several hours, then just disconnects, and all attempts to rerun MODIStsp() just timeout.

When this happens, I cannot even browse to: https://e4ftl01.cr.usgs.gov/MOLT/MOD11A1.006/2000.03.03/

Thanks

This usually happens due to schduled downtimes of the NASA DAAC servers, usually scheduled on wednesdays.

In these cases, you'll just have to wait until the servers are back up.

Thanks,
I followed your responses to similar posts about
    the downtime on Wednesdays. In my case the slow downloads
    continued over the weekend. Then the download actually "opened
    up" and started to flow freely on Tuesday,Wednesday and
    Thursday! Maybe they changed their scheduled downtimes?

Best Regards, and thanks for this excellent
    package,
Micha

Facing the same issue. I found out that extending httr timeout to 20 seconds solves it most of the time. Will submit a PR soon.
