Hi, I have the same problem unfortunately.

I am assuming that this happens once in a while because of Internet connection issues. Either way, I cannot fix anything if you do not sow what R code you are using that produces this error

Sorry for the late answer!
A couple of days later the problem was fixed (on its own).
Thank you for your time though.

I am trying to use geodata::soil_af_isda() but the function just hangs. For example:

geodata::soil_af_isda(var = "clay", path = ".") just hungs on
trying URL 'https://geodata.ucdavis.edu/geodata/soil/isda//isda_clay.tot.psa_0-20cm_v0.13_30s.tif'

Trying to ping the geodata server with httr::GET() but I get the following error message:

Error in curl::curl_fetch_memory(url, handle = handle) : 
  Timeout was reached: [geodata.ucdavis.edu] SSL connection timeout

Not sure if this is the same error as this thread or in #16 #26 or #28 or if anyone else is facing this issue.
