Greetings Russ, The thredds.ucar.edu server has been getting hammered like crazy over the past month or so (maybe more). We are looking into upgrading that machine to handle this increased load, but in the meantime, have you tried thredds-test.unidata.ucar.edu? It's running TDS v5, and your scripts would be a good exercise for it. Would you be willing to give that server a try? The load is much less than thredds.ucar.edu.
