SPICE_WGET_FILES

This routine mirrors SPICE FITS files either from Oslo or Paris. Files are written to either a "level1" or "level2" subdirectory of the $SPICE_DATA directory. Below each directory, the files are organized by date, e.g. "level2/2021/10/20". Files no longer on the server are removed from the local copy.

If the environment variable SPICE_PWD is set, then the files are mirrored from Oslo. All SPICE FITS files are avaible from this server. The spice_catalog.txt and spice_catalog.csv files are also mirrored.

If the environment variable SPICE_PWD is not set, then the routine mirrors SPICE FITS files from the University Paris-Saclay, where the publicly available files reside. Note that not all SPICE FITS files are publicly available. The catalog.csv is also mirrored.
