The Frankfurt ftp address used in get_mirca seems to be failing at the moment.

ftp://ftp.rz.uni-frankfurt.de/pub/uni-frankfurt/physische_geographie/hydrologie/public/data/MIRCA2000/harvested_area_grids/

The harvested area grids can still be downloaded from a link from here all in one (large) zip.
https://hessenbox-a10.rz.uni-frankfurt.de/dl/fiKPzNGoc9bsaFxuN865U9ws/harvested_area_grids.zip

I couldn't find any links to the ftp address maybe it is no longer supported ?

Do you know anything about this @adamhsparks ? Thankyou.

I'm reading your comments about gunzip deleting files, etc. and was thinking that perhaps it's useful to consider using rappdirs for storing these data for repeated use?

If so I can work on it and submit a pull request if you'd like?

I did this with my getCRUCLdata package to save the user repeated downloads.
