It looks like the SRTM endpoints are down or not reachable anymore:

http://dds.cr.usgs.gov/srtm/version2_1/SRTM1/

Getting the following error:

/srv/conda/envs/notebook/lib/python3.7/site-packages/srtm/data.py in retrieve_or_load_file_data(self, file_name)
    143             r = mod_requests.get(url, timeout=5)
    144         except mod_requests.exceptions.Timeout:
--> 145             raise Exception('Connection to %s failed (timeout)' % url)
    146         if r.status_code < 200 or 300 <= r.status_code:
    147             raise Exception('Cannot retrieve %s' % url)

Exception: Connection to http://dds.cr.usgs.gov/srtm/version2_1/SRTM3/Eurasia/N42E011.hgt.zip failed (timeout)

It's working now. But, I'm aware (and everybody else should be) that this can happen any time. Unfortunately there is no simple solution.

The links seem to be back, but I'm still seeing the issue when using strm.py.

Could it be that the timeout is a little bit tight? (5 seconds):

Hm, try to increase it and see ifit works. If you want to make a pull request to make the timeout configurable (with 5s default fallback), I can merge it.
