Hi,I also concur with Pete. We have users interested in the .5 degree GFS, but like Pete, have not begun using it. The late reception of the 1 degree GFS and the lateness of the NAM have been very problematic for us and our data users.
We do retrieve the data via ftp since that has been more timely, but lately, we have noticed slow downs there too.

All, 06 UTC GFS didn't start coming in here until after 12 UTC this AM. It's just now finishing up at 14:31 UTC. I'd like to second Robert's suggestion from a few weeks ago that we back out of the 0.5 deg GFS data until we can resolve these speed issues. I haven't had time to even look at the 0.5 GFS data yet; is anyone using it?
