In following steps on this page to add a Earthquake layer:

http://tilemill-project.github.io/tilemill/docs/crashcourse/point-data/

It says to add this:

7. Enter the URL http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/feed/csv/2.5/week into the “Datasource” field.

The app gives me this error:

Unable to download 'http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/feed/csv/2.5/week' for 'earthquakes' (server returned 404)

That csv file doesn't appear to be on the USGS server anymore. I'd suggest looking for the file on their website and use the new URL.

Ok, just doing a quick 30 second look on their website found the file: https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/feed/v1.0/summary/2.5_week.csv https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/feed/v1.0/summary/2.5_week.csv

Or any other time frame: https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/feed/v1.0/csv.php https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/feed/v1.0/csv.php
