[API-users] download url for GBIF Backbone Taxonomy?

[Markus Döring]

Hi Dan,
you can find all backbone data here, it should not be a terribly long download:
http://rs.gbif.org/datasets/backbone/

best,
Markus

Regarding the archive available for:

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,
