Have been downloading a few l1c tiles from the zip bucket for a while. This morning I started getting “zipfile.BadZipFile: File is not a zip file” errors. Here’s an example:


aws s3 cp s3://sentinel-s2-l1c-zips/S2A_MSIL1C_20191210T033131_N0208_R018_T47NND_20191210T065939.zip . --request-payer


unzip ./S2A_MSIL1C_20191210T033131_N0208_R018_T47NND_20191210T065939.zip

Archive: ./S2A_MSIL1C_20191210T033131_N0208_R018_T47NND_20191210T065939.zip

End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not

a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the

latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on

the last disk(s) of this archive.

unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of ./S2A_MSIL1C_20191210T033131_N0208_R018_T47NND_20191210T065939.zip or

./S2A_MSIL1C_20191210T033131_N0208_R018_T47NND_20191210T065939.zip.zip, and cannot find ./S2A_MSIL1C_20191210T033131_N0208_R018_T47NND_20191210T065939.zip.ZIP, period.


Am looking at my script but would be useful to know if something has changed on the sentinel hub end.

Thank you for the report.
