Unknown Error, Could not get file HEAD: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden

When i try to download sentinel-1 data using python script for bulk download it shows:
Unknown Error, Could not get file HEAD: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden

And previously if we restart the downloads it skips the files that have been already downloaded and restarts wherever the files are partially downloaded but now if we rerun the script it just starts from initial asset and move towards the next after completing the first. It then takes a lot of time. Can someone point a solution for this issue.

This is a bug in the bulk download script that we recently became aware of and hope to have fixed soon. I'll let you know when this has happened.

Thank you for your patience.

Hey there

I have been bothered by the same issue lately, so I rewrite the script to solve it, you can find it at:

Remember to paste the urls inside your original script into the "urls = []" position before execute it.

Hope it helps :)

This issue persists to this day. I was using python files downloaded from the ASF (search.asf.alaska.edu) website.
