I am trying to download a CSV file directly from a website. The file is about 1.5 GB (roughly 5.5 million rows).
This works for 1 GB which corresponds to 3,600,716 observations. I then tried just downloading the file from the website directly to my computer. It keeps restarting the download at exactly 1 GB.
Any ideas on how I can pull the full file?
I use the following code:
filename out "c:\temp\ratings.csv";
proc http
url="http://ratingshistory.info/csv/20220601%20Standard%20&%20Poor's%20Ratings%20Services%20US%20Public.csv"
method="get" out=out;
run;
The log is:
ERROR: Request Failed and number of retries has been exceeded.
NOTE: PROCEDURE HTTP used (Total process time):
