ESO Archive Frequently Asked Questions

Data Request: How does the download script work?

The download script is based on a file transfer tool called WGET.

For it to work it is necessary to have WGET installed and working on command line.

This package is usually installed by default in Linux, but not in MacOSX or Windows.
