ERA5-Land Hourly Data Download - Forever Waiting

I found they have a newer version of the download interface and there my request came trough.

EDIT: URL to get set up with the beta api: Climate Data Store

i know about the new one, but when i download data there, my script fails to read

I have the same problem but with the CERRA data set. When I look at the check status it says “The maximum number of requests that access the ECMWF-MARS archive is 45.” I am Queued: 279
Whether you want to download one hour, one variable, or one year of three variables; it doesn’t matter because the waiting time will be the same.
It’s crazy what happens when downloading these data from CDS.

I’m also having issues with long queue/processing time. I imagine this is because we’re asking their servers to perform subsetting/formatting work for us. Other providers, (e.g. NASA) allow us to have direct access to the raw files through download urls by combining a metadata api query with wget/curl. This is very efficient, even when considering the subsetting/formatting work I have to to on my end.

Is there an equivalent repository for ERA5 Land data where we can just download the raw files with urls?
