Marco, Your inability to download Unidata software is due to a failure of FTP reverse name lookup, that is, this is a DNS issue on your end. Here is our log file about your access: % nslookup 195.62.164.225Name: arpa-sia.sia.arpa.emr.it.164.62.195.in-addr.arpa Address: 195.62.164.225 % nslookup arpa-sia.sia.arpa.emr.it.164.62.195.in-addr.arpa Non-existent host/domain When your DNS permits reverse name lookup from Unidata you should be able to download Unidata software.
