I am using cdsapi client on windows to download complete era5 analysis using python. However, if I choose the area as&nbsp;[50, 5, 5, 110] (NWSE) it is showing error as the request is not valid. So I have to choose the global area for dataset. And it takes a lot of time (like more than a day) to download. And I am not able to download data for even a single day. Kindly help me to speed up the process of downloading the dataset.
