Hello,

When trying to download snapshot 60 from Illustris-1, I am getting a "bad file descriptor" error. Is there an issue with the server? I am using this wget:
wget -nd -nc -nv -e robots=off -l 1 -r -A hdf5 --content-disposition --header="API-Key:" "http://www.tng-project.org/api/Illustris-1/files/snapshot-60/?format=api"

I get the following error message when changing -nv with -v:
wget -nd -nc -v -e robots=off -l 1 -r -A hdf5 --content-disposition --header="API-Key:" "http://www.tng-project.org/api/Illustris-1/files/snapshot-60/?format=api"

index.html?format=api.tmp: Bad file descriptor

Cannot write to ‘index.html?format=api.tmp’ (Bad file descriptor).

Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks.

Hi Lena,

I suspect this error message refers to your local computer actually. I have sometimes seen this when I am trying to save a file to a location which is full, or I have exceeded my quota, or where I don't have write permissions.
