In early February of 2019, multiple users of OFAC’s data files contacted OFAC’s technical support hotline to report difficulty in downloading sanctions list data files hosted at this URL: https://www.treasury.gov/ofac/downloads/. After investigating the issue, the Treasury Department discovered that changes had been made regarding HTTP request methods. These changes generally affected users that leverage command line connections to Treasury’s website. Users who download OFAC’s sanctions list data files manually via browser will not be impacted by this change.
