Model/Dataset Download Issues ..

[tobybreckon]

If you are having any issues with the download of the network models or datasets, first manually check the availability (and/or speed) of access to https://collections.durham.ac.uk where both are hosted before posting an issue - occasionally due to network maintenance or similar the server may be temporarily unavailable; if so try again in +12-24 hours.

Speeds tested as 5Mb/s (UK), 400Kb/s (US), 10Mb/s (locally, Durham University).

Provided download scripts tested and supported on Linux (only). Direct download URL are provided in README.

Known issue (late Sept. 2019, now fixed): the file on the server may be moved to a cache due to popularity of the download. The server issues an http redirect but the scripts (prior to recent update) did not follow these http directive. Now fixed with the addition of -L to the curl command in the download script. Solution: git pull to get latest version of the repo, then retry download script command - see README. If using the direct URL specified, make sure your download tool also follows http redirect directives (most browsers do this automatically).

No sorry - they are hosted on long-term archive storage locally at Durham.
