It seems that the URLs have moved from http://www.nacis.org to http://www.naciscdn.org, so I have updated the README.md accordingly.

Likewise, the links for the weather data no longer function. I have updated them (and extended them to include the hour) to current locations.

Err, it seems that I need to find the replacement for the filter_gfs.pl script you were calling. Converting the full file and placing it into public/data/weather/current causes the server to crash in rendering.

Using a CGI call of the form http://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/filter_gfs_1p00.pl? is now necessary.

EDIT: Done.

curl "http://www.naciscdn.org/naturalearth/50m/physical/ne_50m_coastline.zip" -o ne_50m_coastline.zip
curl "http://www.naciscdn.org/naturalearth/50m/physical/ne_50m_lakes.zip" -o ne_50m_lakes.zip
curl "http://www.naciscdn.org/naturalearth/110m/physical/ne_110m_coastline.zip" -o ne_110m_coastline.zip
curl "http://www.naciscdn.org/naturalearth/110m/physical/ne_110m_lakes.zip" -o ne_110m_lakes.zip

Where did you find these new URLs? They do not resolve for me. Also, I see very different download URLs here: https://www.naturalearthdata.com/downloads/50m-physical-vectors/
