grdcut [ERROR]: Remote download is currently deactivated

Description of the problem

Hi guys,

I am running PyGMT on Linux, but also tried it on Windows with the same behavior:

When I try this code shown below I get the the message

import pygmt
grid = pygmt.datasets.load_earth_relief(resolution="01d", region=[-14, 30, 35, 60])
fig = pygmt.Figure()
fig.grdimage(grid=grid, projection="M15c", frame="a", cmap="geo")
fig.colorbar(frame=["a1000", "x+lElevation", "y+lm"])
fig.show()

fig.savefig("_meine_Karte.png")

grdcut [ERROR]: Remote download is currently deactivated

Can I activate the download somewhere

Minimal Complete Verifiable Example

import pygmt
grid = pygmt.datasets.load_earth_relief(resolution="01d", region=[-14, 30, 35, 60])
fig = pygmt.Figure()
fig.grdimage(grid=grid, projection="M15c", frame="a", cmap="geo")
fig.colorbar(frame=["a1000", "x+lElevation", "y+lm"])
fig.show()

fig.savefig("_meine_Karte.png")

@duffy6, thanks for your report on this issue. I also faced it under Windows and Linux on Friday. But now downloading the remote datasets works for me again. So, can you please try it again and report if it also works for you? Then we can close this issue.

It‘s working again!
Thank you folks!
