Makefile:15: recipe for target 'download' failed

Hello Diego,

I get this error when I try to run your code (also tried the docker). Might be that some url doesn't work anymore?

Hi,

The INEGI server is responding with a content-lenght of 0, so there's not much I can do on my side. Maybe in the future the INEGI will decide to fix their website.

If you need a copy of the files you can always send me an email.

Thanks,

I think I have solved that problem with a small tweak: basically I attempt the same download multiple times, usually it success the third or fourth time.

##Download the electoral shapefiles
function download_ife {
  for (( i = 1 ; i <= 32 ; i++ ))
  do
      while :
	    do
	    echo $i
	    if [ ! -f zip/$1/$i-$1.zip ];
	    then
		$WGET $2$i -O zip/$1/$i-$1.zip
	    fi
	    if [ ! -s zip/$1/$i-$1.zip ]; then
		echo "##########################################################################"
		echo "Something went wrong when downloading the file. trying again"
		echo "##########################################################################"
		rm zip/$1/$i-$1.zip
		sleep 5
	    else
		break
	    fi
	    done
    done 
}

But now I hit another issue: http://gaia.inegi.org.mx/geoelectoral/datos/ECEG_$FILENUM.zip doesn't return anything (in the file otros.sh). They might have moved the files. I'd love if you could send me the files: francesco at bailo . sydney . edu . au

This is great, I changed the download url in the otros.sh file and it should be working now.
