Does there exist a global dataset on rainfall (at least 0.5x0.5 degrees grid) already in .csv or similar format?

EDIT:

I have found this: https://precip.gsfc.nasa.gov/

the precision is 1x1 log-lat grid. I check if it is enough for my case.

EDIT: I see that asking about rainfall data is quite common. As soon as I write the code to properly open the binary files in the link above I will share it in order that order researcher will be able to easily use these data for whatever purpose they will to. The code will be R based.

EDIT:

I have found this: https://precip.gsfc.nasa.gov/

which should be what I am looking for (even if itthe precision is a 1x1 log-lat grid precision). However, I do not really get how to open the data. The files are compressed in .gz, but I am not able to download themcheck if it is enough for my case. Has anyone better luck?
