Ohh and one other thing. I need 

wrfout_d02_1970-07-16_03%3A00%3A00

but you uploaded

wrfout_d02_1970-07-16_03%253A00%253A00

again for clarification these are the 2 files attached with your bundle that I 
need.

wrfout_d02_1970-07-16_03%3A00%3A00
wrfout_d02_2040-07-16_03%3A00%3A00

Thanks again.
