GFS is taking forever to update

[I Cumbria Marra I]

The 6z is only at 108 and it was the same for the 18z and 0z.

There have been some problems with download speeds on the NCEP server we usually use to get the files, we're switched to a backup system now which is catching the 06z up, and we'll keep it on until the other server is sorted, so all should be a bit quicker again. 

[Paul]

That fix hasn't helped much, we're working on another way around it currently.

Plan c is in, and running nicely as it catches up. Fingers crossed that this one will grab the files more quickly from here on in, it's a bit of a punt going live with something new on a Friday afternoon but needs must as something has gone very slow with the server we've traditionally connected into at NCEP. We'll keep a close eye on it over the weekend
