Unavailability of the Supreme Court Corpus on Convokit; https://github.com/CornellNLP/ConvoKit is also down #213

ec769 commented 7 months ago

We noticed that the Supreme Court Corpus on Convokit has not been accessible for several days and that the Convokit website (https://convokit.cornell.edu/) has also been hanging. For reference, we use the following code to access the data:

from convokit import Corpus, download
corpus = Corpus(filename=download("supreme-2018"))

and we have successfully been able to access the data in the past.

Do you know when the data will be accessible again?

Hi there! You mentioned that the corpus has not been accessible for "several days"; do you have an estimate of when the problem started? We know that a power outage recently affected the server on which the corpora and the website are both hosted, but this only happened yesterday, so if you've been having problems longer than that, then it is possible that there is some other issue we were not aware of.

Thank you for fixing the issue so quickly! I am able to access the corpus now. I tried running a program on Tuesday overnight and it exited without finishing (I am realizing now that there was a typo in the code), and tried again on Wednesday when the corpus was not accessible.
