I was able to test all of the urls' this afternoon and discovered 2 things. The link for ETA and NGM data is no longer valid. I have put out some feelers to see if there is another source. Also, if there is not a current hurricane / typhon then the link does not work as there is nothing to download (I think that this is the case). I was wrong about the http://www.weather.noaa.gov link, they work fine if you use the right time tokens! I emailed Tim and will report back when he responds. I'm wondering if there is an "extra space" or syntax problem that is causing your problem? Have you been able to succesfully execute this script before? Not much help, but maybe something that will help troubleshoot the script.

Greg the script works just fine in DA and Equinox 1.05 here but will not imgest in anything later than that, its clearly a program bug which others have also discovered. I've been running into this on every version since 1.05.

I see someone posted that ingest of *.* is broken and you must ingest the *.dat or such files but that makes no sense as when I run the retrieval using the check boxes in the program and retrieve that way it works just fine unless the behavior of ingest has suddenly changed. Without any updated change logs since 1.05 though its hard to know what to do or where to go though. I'm becoming frustrated here with the lack of any response to the issues being raised, the cost of the "Pro" version a little over a year ago was not cheap and to see the support take this much of a downturn is disturbing as I do provide data to a number of external users that expect it to function properly and to have unstable software and minimal support is not good.

I agree with you on support as I too own the Pro version. There was a thread that said that Tim didn't even read these boards anymore but responds promptly if emailed through the form at: http://www.weathergraphics.com/contact.htm . So far he has answered when I have used that method.

Every time I've tried it I've gotten an error message, but I guess I'll try it again.

From Tim regarding the ETA and NGM models:

I have not tested it but I think some of this data would work:
http://www.atmos.albany.edu/weather/dat ... casts/mod/


I think you should edit the site and enter a new resource of:
http://www.atmos.albany.edu/weather/dat ... @M@D@X.ngm


I'll update this in the next build.


Tim
