curl: (18) transfer closed with ?????? bytes remaining to read
Posted: Sat May 02, 2026 11:34 pm America/New_York
Dear Support,
The download from the ob.daac server is experiencing a lot of "curl: (18) transfer closed with ?????? bytes remaining to read" error. And the speed is one order of magnitude slower than before.
The command example:
curl -b ~/.urs_cookies -c ~/.urs_cookies -L -n --retry 5 --retry-delay 2 --max-time 0 https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/ob/getfile/JPSS1_VIIRS.20260502T161800.L1A.nc -o /work/l1a/JPSS1_VIIRS.20260502T161800.L1A.nc
Thanks,
