An easy alternative is using wget as follows:

wget --user=username --password=password -i url_list.txt

where username is your Earthdata userid, password is your Earthdata password, and url_list.txt is a text file with one granule download link per line.

For convenience, wget can pull urls directly out of Earthdata Search's download access script, so the following will also work:

wget --user=username --password=password -i download.sh

Another alternative is DownloadThemAll!, a popular add-in for Firefox.  By adding .txt to the end of the download script, you can use DownloadThemAll!'s "import from file" feature to download the links it contains.

When running the script, if you get the error

curl: option --netrc-file: is unknown

this means the curl command is not recognizing the option --netrc-file. 

This option was added in curl version 7.21.5.  You can check your version of curl by running the following command:

curl -V

If your version of curl is less than 7.21.5, you need to update curl.
