Home • Error 503 when bulk-downloading merra-2 using wget

Hello,

In the past, I have been able to bulk-download Merra-2 data for decades using the command 'wget' without any issues (except for a few missing files but that was easily fixed with a second targeted download). However, I tried to download data from 1980 to the end of 1999 last week and a significant number of files were not downloaded, instead, I received the error message:
'Error 503: Service unavailable'

Here is an example of a link to data that could not be downloaded:
'https://goldsmr4.gesdisc.eosdis.nasa.gov/opendap/MERRA2/M2I1NXASM.5.12.4/1980/01/MERRA2_100.inst1_2d_asm_Nx.19800101.nc4.nc4?T2M[0:23][260:270][351:358],V2M[0:23][260:270][351:358],V10M[0:23][260:270][351:358],U2M[0:23][260:270][351:358],U10M[0:23][260:270][351:358],QV2M[0:23][260:270][351:358],lon[351:358],lat[260:270],time[0:23]'

I tried again this week, but I got the same issue.
Could you please let me know if something is going on with the website or if there's a way to get around this error?

Thank you very much for your time!
Best,
Victor
