Error "download failed" when using `geodata::worldclim_global()`

Download fails when using

file_path <- paste0(dirname(here::here()), "/silvoarable_review/DATASET.FROM.SCRIPT/")

geodata::worldclim_global(var = 'bio', res = 2.5, path = file_path)

Error message:

However, the old function from the raster package seems to work fine (?):

raster::getData(name = 'worldclim', var = 'bio', res = 2.5, path = file_path)

That is a download failure because of a timeout. You can set a longer time limit like this

options(timeout = max(900, getOption("timeout")))

(that is done automatically in the development version of geosphere)
