Get aria2

aria2 is a lightweight multi-protocol & multi-source command-line download utility. It supports HTTP/HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent and Metalink. You will use aria2 to download the Sentinel-1 files from your Sentinel-1 Scientific Data Hub shop carts, they are exported as metalink.

Check how to install aria2 on your platform: http://aria2.sourceforge.net/

Create a Sentinel-1 Scientific Data Hub shop cart

Search for Sentinel-1 datasets and add them to a "Download cart"

Download the cart. You'll have a metalink called products.meta4

Download the datasets

Use aria:

aria2c --http-user='<your username>' --http-passwd='<your password>' --check-certificate=false --max-concurrent-downloads=2 -M products.meta4

The max concurrent downloads are limited by ESA to two parallel downloads, increasing this number will only download two products of the cart

Is there have some methods to batching download the sentinel1 data ?I once used the plugin of Sarscape to batch download the sentinel-1 data ,but it is unstable and have a low download speed about 200kb/s.

Can I be able to make my own platform to download sentinel 1 data?. In other words, I would like to design website for my company and from that I need to download sentinel 1 as done in the Alaska satellite facility
