Hello web service users,

New versions of the DMC's web service Fetch scripts have been released and are available here:

http://www.iris.edu/ws/wsclients/

The FetchBulkData script has been made more robust by breaking large requests into groups and restarting the download of a group when the connection has been interrupted.  These features combined allow FetchBulkData to better handle very large data requests and to recover automatically from network connectivity problems or service interruptions.

The web page now also includes client usage documentation with examples of usage and description of key features. 

Each script has improved documentation, minor fixes and improved reporting that will help the DMC and users of these scripts diagnose problems.

Users of these scripts are encouraged to keep their copy up to date.

regards,
web services team
