south washington watershed district: retrieval kernels hit timeout errors #188
Description
SWWD retrieval depends on static download URLs, the largest of which (in my experience on Duke/Home wifi) have tended to fail regularly before succeeding (MS-1 and Trout Brook discharge are the worst).
This means that, as currently written, they are likely to fail on a full acquisition run without supervision. The kernels should be amended with this in mind. Brute forcing with a "while" loop I do not think is a good solution, because the website will freeze you out after a certain volume of requests. In fact, I found some success in adding a system sleep call after each download. I think, unfortunately, making a set number of tries after which it downloads from a static version on our google drive might be the simplest way to allow this domain to retrieve without supervision.
