Hi Tom, Considering we all get MCIDAS from unidata.ssec.wisc.edu, it may be the ISP you are using is getting saturated. I see tho you are on abilene..so that is probably not the issue, but when we see only these large area files not getting through, but all others, and nothing in your logs....we start looking at connectivity. I notice with doing a traceroute we have a real bad hop right before yin...it hangs and hangs and hangs.... storm 102% traceroute yin.engin.umich.edu traceroute to yin.engin.umich.edu (141.213.23.50), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 128.117.150.253 (128.117.150.253) 3 ms 1 ms 1 ms 2 vbnsr-n2.ucar.edu (128.117.2.252) 213 ms 107 ms 194 ms 3 internetr-n243-104.ucar.edu (128.117.243.106) 2 ms 2 ms 1 ms 4 denv-abilene.ucar.edu (128.117.243.126) 2 ms 2 ms 3 ms 5 kscy-dnvr.abilene.ucaid.edu (198.32.8.14) 13 ms 14 ms 14 ms 6 ipls-kscy.abilene.ucaid.edu (198.32.8.6) 23 ms 24 ms 22 ms 7 clev-ipls.abilene.ucaid.edu (198.32.8.26) 29 ms 28 ms 28 ms 8 pos4-0x1.michnet8.mich.net (192.122.183.9) 44 ms 45 ms 44 ms 9 192.122.183.14 (192.122.183.14) 47 ms 48 ms 47 ms 10 141.213.101.3 (141.213.101.3) 473 ms 48 ms 47 ms 11 yin.engin.umich.edu (141.213.23.50) 47 ms * 46 ms Do you know what machine 141.213.101.3 is? That seems to be a bit of a sticky spot. We can attempt to find you another feed for MCIDAS, but I do not think that is the issue. Keep me posted..
