ConnectionError: Unable to download models

[aryiby]

Problem

It looks like I'm unable to download the base model files because I'm getting a ConnectionError:

HTTPSConnectionPool(host='coqui.gateway.scarf.sh', port=443):
Max retries exceeded with url:
  /hf-coqui/XTTS-v2/main/model.pth
  (Caused by NameResolutionError("<urllib3.connection.HTTPSConnection object at 0x78d0bfff4c10>:
    Failed to resolve 'coqui.gateway.scarf.sh' ([Errno -3] Temporary failure in name resolution)"))

What I've tried so far

Some people have suggested that I need to set the environment variable, TRAINER_TELEMETRY to 0[^1]; however, that hasn't made a difference. I am still seeing the same error.

Next steps

I'm not sure what next steps to take.

• Can I manually download the base model files and put them where they're expected?
• Maybe I can clone xtts2 and try running it manually first?

I am able to reproduce the error. It seems intentional on behalf of Coq, the model creator, and I have no control over this. There are some alternatives now, take a look at: https://github.com/jianchang512/ChatTTS-ui
