AssertionError on sha256 of

Thanks for putting this library together.

I'm trying to run the example notebook keras_ocr_coco_benchmark_public.ipynb on Google Colab and getting the following error:

Looking for /root/.keras-ocr/craft_mlt_25k.h5

AssertionError: Error occurred verifying sha256.

It appears to be trying to download the model weights/biases file and dying on that.

The setup steps of installing all the packages worked fine and I am able to import the libraries with no issue. What am I doing wrong?

Hi there! This is because I've hit my bandwidth limit for sharing files via MediaFire using direct download. You can download the files manually and place them in ~/.keras-ocr (in your case, ~ is /root). Please see https://github.com/faustomorales/keras-ocr/issues/117 for more information on this. My apologies for the inconvenience -- there really is no such thing as a free lunch or free cloud storage. 🙃

Thank you, working for me now in Colab.
