I think I already asked something similar a few weeks back, but isn't there a public site where I can fetch #Copernicus GLO-30 #DEM files with a simple http client anymore? I used to use `wget` for this, then it was AWS CLI, and now it seems I have to set it up with a user/pass/key/secret_key?

I remember cloning the whole mapzen repo when it was on peril of disappearing, should I have done the same with data that's supposed to be public? Has anyone done that already?

Used Python to quickly scrape megalithic.co.uk to get 75 prehistoric sites in Shetland, download shetland.gov.uk's paths and routes shapefiles, then upload them all to my phone with QField and an Thunderforest topo map...
