Good afternoon, I have been trying to download a large amount of data for historical analysis of several variables and I wrote a shell script for that. I am using the following method " wget --load-cookies ~/.urs_cookies --save-cookies ~/.urs_cookies --auth-no-challenge=on --keep-session-cookies" and I am looping the script over time and over variables. At first, I tried from my personal machine to download all variables together and my IP got blocked. Then, I changed the script to go through each variable one by one and not concurrently. However, after finishing downloading SST and NSST data, my code stopped running and I only encounter the error "Unable to establish SSL connection". What can I do to download a large amount of data? Seems like my IP got blocked again, I am very confused about this process. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
