There are a couple of reasons why the download of McIDAS might fail
for you:

- the email address you are registered under is not a '.edu' address

  Unidata's license to distribute McIDAS is restricted to educational
  institutions.  Users who register with U.S. email addresses
  (like your address@hidden address) should be automatically
  granted access to the distributions); users registered with other
  email addresses (like your address@hidden) address have to be
  allowed on a case-by-case basis.

- there could be a problem with our website.  I will check this
  today

Question:

- what email address did you use to register with our website?

There is no mirror.  I am guessing that you were denied access because
you are registered with our site using your Gmail address.  If this is
the case, I will add your Gmail address to the list of sites allowed
to get McIDAS from us.

Cheers,

Tom
