I am trying to download over 800 images from the GIOVANNI platform of NASA. I saw that using wget can act as a faster download option. I have installed wget on my windows operating system and tried to follow some tutorials online. My problem is that I keep getting the error "unable to establish SSL connection". Does anyone have an idea how i can move past this error??
NASA probably blocks wget/zgrab and all that kind of stuff.
We do, because it's used by cybercriminals to download a complete website, so they can create an authentic-looking fake.
You might need to add SSL to your installation. Have a look at this thread:

Thank you. It seems the problem was with the wget version I was using. At least a version of 1.18 was needed.
