[Wrf-users] GFS download -- can't resolve host

[Mariana O. Scott]

Does anyone else have intermittent problems downloading GFS files from
NCEP? I randomly get the following error:
Curl:
curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host 'ftpprd.ncep.noaa.gov'
Wget:
resolving ftpprd.ncep.noaa.gov... failed: Name or service not known.
wget: unable to resolve host address ftpprd.ncep.noaa.gov

I would appreciate any insight!
