Hi @AndMei , normally it has been taking just a day or two for requests to be filled, so that feature was not so important, perhaps! The LLNL downloads were not happening for a few days, and now the internet seems very slow (gamers? netflix?). But I should have gotten back to you sooner, sorry. I will email you separately with an update.
It is a great idea to build in automatic updates, though. Would you be willing to open an issue here https://github.com/naomi-henderson/cmip6collect?
