Connection time out when downloading MNIST #22

Open robotdude17 opened 7 years ago

Dear Sir,

We have tried to download the MNIST dataset using the simple example you provided:

!/usr/bin/env python3

from sets import Mnist

Download, parse and cache the dataset.

train, test = Mnis()

Download ~/.dataset/sets/mnist/train-images-idx3-ubyte.gz ... urllib.error.URLError: <urlopen error [Errno 110] Connection timed out>

Maybe the link is corrupted. Your feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Hannes

The website is offline and hence you are getting that error. You can try downloading the data from the web archives. Alternatively, you can use this link: http://data.pymvpa.org/datasets/mnist/ Hope it helps.
