Hi there,

Following up a more than a year and a half old topic about accessing a remote dataset, I’m downloading @earth\_relief\_01s :  
`gmt get -Ddata=earth_relief`  
BUT !

Starting at N48xxx, either libcurl fails or the automatic conversion from .jp2 to .nc fails depending on which `--GMT_DATA_SERVER` I specified. Can someone have a look at it ?

> e.g.: N48W126

Best,  
Guillaume
