problem getting ugrib when connected via mobile

[ColinR]

I can get grib files using ugrib when connected by broadband but when I try using an internet comnection via my mobile I get an error 404, server cannot be contacted etc even though I have a good fast internet connection. Any ideas? thanks

Can you download anything else? I use Vodafone mobile broadband for my Ugribs and have no probs.

Colin, you could try our SmartMet - see www.smartcomsoftware.com. Instead of sending GRIB files we send our own, more compact, format, which should help with any comms problems.

Erm why would I want to pay £40+ per month for a service that I get for free...

I get this problem with Iridium now, never used to!!

I'd like to solve it - if anybody knows how to.
