Alternative way to download langdata_lstm master file instead from github

[timjin520]

I'm trying to download the langdata_lstm from a work laptop. However, I couldnt download this file in github due to a firewall block which i have no control on. Is there another site that i can download this file from?

thank you

Does your firewall block GitHub, or what exactly is blocked?

Thank you for your reply. Our firewall blocks anything that download from github. Only file I want to get is langdata_lsmt master zip file which I couldn't find outside of github.

If only downloads are blocked, git clone https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/langdata_lstm.git should work and would also get the desired files.

Sorry, that also blocks that. Is there a other site where I can download it?

But you are able to write here, so you have access to https://github.com/. Then why does git clone not work?

I do and im able to access and view github. Sorry I work at a federal building. Their restrictions are little high. They have a firewall that blocks an outgoing connections when I use github app, python, maven, etc. will not work if I do cloning or download files from github. And cannot use external hd on federal machines. So I cannot modify the restrictions. Only thing I would need for my project is the langdata master zip. I want to know if theres any other site that have that zip file outside of github. I can't find it on google.

FYI, I cannot login gmail on my work machine (using my phone). So a download link that is not github would be helpful. Hopefully it works.

Thank you

As far as we know these data are not available anywhere else. IMO you try to solve problem on wrong end: if you need these data on your work computer, you have to cooperate with your IT support to make it available for you. Downloading&using data/programs from not official source is security risks.

@timjin520, you might try https://code.bib.uni-mannheim.de/UB-Mannheim/langdata_lstm.

[timjin520]

Thank you so much!!! I got it downloaded. Thank you so much for your help!

@stweil Sounds like this is resolved/answered.

[stweil]

Yes, I think so, too, and closed this issue.
