[GRASS-user] wget (corine) "landcover_tiles_v2" for greece works, but not for europe(?)

# get GR_100K.shp which is GREEA18328I.zip [1] from [2]

tiles which cover Greece) with their exact name.

Now, if I try to repeat this process for the whole of europe (based on
the file Grid_ETRS89_LAEA5210_100K), I only get 31KB files which are
corrupted (?) and anyway, they are to small to carry any information.
What could be the reason?

Thanks, Nikos
