Can't download lakes data due to link issue in ne_download()? #3

I am brand new to rnaturalearth. I finally got the rnaturalearthhires package installed: I think it is the http in the url vs the https url where I can go and find a zip file of the data:

No data: http://www.naturalearthdata.com/http//www.naturalearthdata.com/download/110m/physical/ne_110m_lakes.zip

Data available: https://www.naturalearthdata.com/http//www.naturalearthdata.com/download/110m/physical/ne_110m_lakes.zip

I used:

lakes110 <- ne_download(scale = 110, type = 'lakes', category = 'physical') Result: trying URL 'http://www.naturalearthdata.com/http//www.naturalearthdata.com/download/110m/physical/ne_110m_lakes.zip' Error in utils::download.file(file.path(address), zip_file <- tempfile()) : cannot open URL 'http://www.naturalearthdata.com/http//www.naturalearthdata.com/download/110m/physical/ne_110m_lakes.zip' In addition: Warning message: In utils::download.file(file.path(address), zip_file <- tempfile()) : cannot open URL 'http://www.naturalearthdata.com/http//www.naturalearthdata.com/download/110m/physical/ne_110m_lakes.zip': HTTP status was '500 Internal Server Error'

I hope I have asked this in the correct place. Thanks for your time.

spudunk in cambec/earth seemed to have the same issue: https://github.com/cambecc/earth/pull/97#issuecomment-537629874

Thanks @landLogic and apologies for delay. There was a problem with the NaturalEarth website a couple of weeks ago that caused downloads to fail. Is it OK for you now ?

@andysouth Thanks Andy, Yes it is working now! Great fun too. Thanks
