Hi,

My wget command to download MERRA-2 relative humidity data from Jan 1, 1980 to Dec 31, 2021 stops working after the second day. My command only downloads the first two lines in the text file: the MERRA2_readme.PDF and day 1 (Jan 1, 1980).
https://goldsmr5.gesdisc.eosdis.nasa.gov/daac-bin/OTF/HTTP_services.cgi?FILENAME=%2Fdata%2FMERRA2%2FM2I3NVASM.5.12.4%2F1980%2F01%2FMERRA2_100.inst3_3d_asm_Nv.19800101.nc4&BBOX=-90%2C-180%2C90%2C180&VERSION=1.02&DATASET_VERSION=5.12.4&VARIABLES=RH&FORMAT=bmM0Lw&SERVICE=L34RS_MERRA2&LABEL=MERRA2_100.inst3_3d_asm_Nv.19800101.SUB.nc&SHORTNAME=M2I3NVASM

I am attaching a pdf of the log. I would really appreciate any help since a manual download of all these files would take me forever.

Many thanks!

Sorry for the inconvenience. We have tried to figure out the causes of your
cases. One possible reason might be "Wget/1.20.3" you are using might not work
well with downloading data from our system. Can you try a lower version, such
as "Wget/1.19" or "Wget/1.18"?

Another possible reason might be associated with the Windows system. wget is
particularly challenging for Windows users.

Would you like to try alternative ways to download data with other tools, as
below?

1. Web-based tools like TDS: How to Obtain a Spatially Subsetted Time Series
using
