get_third_party.sh runs into wget error 'Unsupported scheme'

[zubeax]

Hi Jacob.

i had to replace wget with curl to have the downloads succeed. Here is the script version i used.

Cheers

cp GGM03_Archive/GGM03C.GEO ../grav

update: does the ftp server still exist? I noted that these files are also now at: https://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/ftp/eph/planets/fortran/
