Hello,
I am seeing the tried-and-true obdaac_download.py script routinely hang, with only occasional success, but the GET request seems to succeed, as the run below, with extra verbosity, shows:
Alaric,
Seems we missed this post. Sorry about the long delay in replying. Are you still experiencing the issue? I was not able to replicate it, but that doesn't mean that the problem went away for you.

Sean,
No worries; and thank you! I got confirmation from your end that I wasn’t being throttled, but it persisted for days. I managed to ultimately confirm it was likely a routing problem. Consistently, testing the download script over on my laptop, I kept getting a few successful downloads, then the hangs when connected to my campus wired net, but NOT on Wi-Fi. I had a meet-up with IT support here scheduled for the next day, but, as mysteriously as the problem arose, it had vanished by that morning, before we could diagnose the routing.
I have to presume someone somewhere between here and there finally kicked a misbehaving router…
