In recent years, many geodata providers have been exploited by multiple libraries - that use their REST APIs - which are usually written in #Python. That's the case of multiple #Copernicus archives. Most of them use the same multi-threaded '#requests' and '#tqdm' packages below. I wonder how all of them may suffer the same problem of hanging forever on massive downloads. Come on, guys, it is not rocket science. That's really annoying... #rant
@gisgeek by exploited, du you mean intently, or accidentally DOSed? If it's accidental, improving the libraries might help, but in all cases, the real fix would be server side, which would certainly force the libraries to be fixed if needed.
