Regarding the archive available for:
https://www.gbif.org/dataset/d7dddbf4-2cf0-4f39-9b2a-bb099caae36c
I attempted to download the archive using a command-line tool but cannot because:
We’re sorry, but GBIF doesn’t work properly without JavaScript enabled.
I started the download from my browser and the expected download time keeps bouncing between 8 hours and 12 hours.
Two questions:
1. Is there a location on the Internet where I can download that file in a reasonable timeframe?
2. Is there a url that will function properly to download the file without requiring javascript?
Is there any interest in developing mirrors or a CDN to host some of these things within the community?
Thanks,
