Request in progress time up to 10 hours

Hi there,
When downloading GloFAS forecast data, I can only request one month at a time; otherwise, the file size is too large. So, I wrote a loop to automate the process.

When I run it, the first month’s download is fast and smooth. However, after that, the output consistently show ‘accept, running
…’. and I end up waiting up to 10 hours just to download a small batch of data.

Can I know if this happened to anyone else? Is it normal?
