Participants working on Windows systems experienced problems on two occasions:

1. The download of the Portal Project Database (line 51 in databases.Rmd) returned a warning. Establishing a connection to the downloaded database file (line 57) gave an error. However, downloading the file from BoxUP via a sharelink worked.
2. Using mclapply() to extract mean environmental conditions per grid cell (line 188 of course_project_solution.R) did not work. Replacing mclapply() with a foreach ... %dopar% ... construct worked fine.

Both issues did not occur on Linux or MacOS.
