Server down for maintenance?

[Diegoo21]

Hi, we are trying to use the geodata package but when attempting to get worldclim data, the following error appears:

The geodata server is down for maintenance. It is expected to be back online on April 13, 2023.

It's past that date, so we're not sure what is going on.

Thanks!

I tried today and it seems to be working alright - > geodata::worldclim_country(country = "BRA", var = "tmax", path = tempdir())

Any suggestions on what might be going on from our side? Several of us attempted it again yesterday, even reinstalling the package and still the same message:

geodata::worldclim_country(country = "BRA", var = "tmax", path = tempdir()) The geodata server is down for maintenance. It is expected to be back online on April 13, 2023. NULL

Can you try pasting this link in your browser - https://geodata.ucdavis.edu/climate/worldclim/2_1/tiles/iso/BRA_wc2.1_30s_tmax.tif See if you are able to download the tif file directly.

The direct download does work.

[krishnakeshav]

Just a theory - where are u located? The cloud storage might not be accessible from there.

We are at Brigham Young University in Provo, UT.

From the code, it seems to to the direct download. Here are some related issues, I found - #16 and #42 . Do check if any of those helps.

Reinstalled from github and it still doesn't work. I don't see any other suggested solutions on those threads. It seems like it should just eventually get fixed (?)

UPDATE Mine is working perfectly now. I used a different internet connection. I suspect conflict with the connection between the server and the network provider.

Following this thread as I have the same issue.
