Due to the limited internet bandwidth (8Mb/s) of ICTP, The computer
section just allow one user to access clima-ftp at the same time. And
you might feel it's quite slow from clima-ftp to your address.

If you cannot download from ICTP, you should download from ECMWF
directly. Be careful ! you need save the fields into different
netCDF files for 00Z, 06Z, 12Z and 18Z, and name it as the name
in ICBC.f (like air.1998.00.nc, rhum.2000.12.nc, etc)

Best regards,
Bi
