Hello

I am looking to download data from the “Complete ERA5 global atmospheric reanalysis”. While my submission to download data from “Complete ERA5 global atmospheric reanalysis” has been accepted, it is not downloading.

 ![Screenshot 2026-08-02 at 8.49.09 AM](https://forum.ecmwf.int/uploads/default/original/2X/d/d24e7c64a65097ac81f0d029b7855fffeee21c1f.png)

I just wanted to check that this data was available, or do I just need to wait a bit longer. I have waited for a few days for the process to complete and I can start downloading the data.

Thanks

Geoffrey

Hi,  
please be aware that there is an additional queueing system for downloading data from the ECMWF’s MARS archive - **expect several hours to several days for submitted requests to complete** at this time. You can check the [Live status of your request](https://cds.climate.copernicus.eu/live)

Thanks
