[Go-essp-tech] Can't download any wget scripts from PCMDI -- "Internal Server Error"

[Karl Taylor]

Dear Jennifer,

Sorry about that.  I clearly misunderstood the problem.  The systems 
administrator was unable to correct it following standard procedures.  
I'm not sure if the experts who can diagnose the root of the problem 
will be available before tomorrow, but I am attempting to contact them.

I know that BADC, DKRZ, and PCMDI are all beginning to replicate a large 
portion of available model output.  Once this is done, I think the 
redundancy I spoke about will in fact become a reality, and you will no 
longer be reliant on all gateways being available.  In the meantime, I 
can only ask for patience.

thanks,
Karl
