FWIW same here from the other hemisphere - it's an infinite loop in their webserver. I’d say that confirms that the link is not accessible, so definitely needs fixing.
Looking at the package, I think that link is entirely pointless anyway, because it doesn't even point to the data source, so either point to the actual page with the data or remove (pointing to the archive for the CDE front page is just as useless IMHO).
