on adde.ucar.edu and adde.cise-nsf.gov, we keep several days
archives, but through the ADDE server, you only have access to
the current UTC day's data.  So, if you try to access long loops
right soon after 00 UTC, you'll only get a few images.  On other
servers, they don't save as much data so just have one dataset
that spans 1 or 2 days.  We don't have a good solution for this, but
are still working on a way to access  previous day's data on these
servers.

Actually, it's on the other servers, just mislabeled.  Right now
it's listed as:

GINI 8 km WV East CONUS

instead of 4km.  Thanks for pointing this out.  There was a change
a while back but the name in the list didn't get changed.  We will
update the tables when we get a chance.  Any bundle you save pointing
to this dataset will get you the right data, but have the wrong
description.
