geodata dowloads fail with 'Couldn't connect to server'

[AMBarbosa]

All geodata functions (at least all the several ones I've tried) have been giving 'Couldn't connect to server' errors since yesterday. Looks like the server is down?

soil_ph <- soil_world(var = "phh2o", depth = 5, stat = "mean", path = tempdir())
# Error in file(con, "r") : 
#   cannot open the connection to 'https://geodata.ucdavis.edu/geodata/soil/soilgrids/files.txt'
# In addition: Warning message:
# In file(con, "r") :
#   URL 'https://geodata.ucdavis.edu/geodata/soil/soilgrids/files.txt': status was 'Couldn't connect to server'

gadm(country="FRA", level=1, path=tempdir())
# Error in file(con, "r") : 
#   cannot open the connection to 'https://geodata.ucdavis.edu/gadm/gadm3.6.txt'
# In addition: Warning message:
# In file(con, "r") :
#   URL 'https://geodata.ucdavis.edu/gadm/gadm3.6.txt': status was 'Couldn't connect to server'

I am having the same error:

library(geodata)
#> Loading required package: terra
#> terra version 1.4.11
library(raster)
#> Loading required package: sp

tdir <- tempdir()
geodata::population(year=2015,res=.5,path=tdir)
#> Warning in utils::download.file(url = url, destfile = filename,
#> quiet = quiet, : URL 'https://biogeo.ucdavis.edu/data/geodata/pop/

Sorry, the server is down if for maintenance. Should be back up again by Tue or Wed.

This appears to be working again.

I am still having trouble downloaded data using geodata:

library(geodata)
#> Loading required package: terra
#> terra version 1.4.11
library(raster)
#> Loading required package: sp
tdir <- tempdir()
geodata::population(year=2015,res=.5,path=tdir)
#> Warning in utils::download.file(url = url, destfile = filename,
#> quiet = quiet, : URL 'https://biogeo.ucdavis.edu/data/geodata/pop/
#> gpw_v4_population_density_rev11_2015_30s.tif': status was 'Couldn't connect to
#> server'
#> Error in utils::download.file(url = url, destfile = filename, quiet = quiet,  : 
#>   cannot open URL 'https://biogeo.ucdavis.edu/data/geodata/pop/gpw_v4_population_density_rev11_2015_30s.tif'

That actually works for me now.

[coconn41]

Strange. Perhaps @AMBarbosa could check if it is working? If so, I can open a new issue. If not, I will know it is only on my end.

[rhijmans]

I now see why. The CRAN version uses a different URL that is not yet working. The github version is working.

Thank you. I reinstalled from Github on my personal computer and the code runs.
