[lhq12]

Hi there,

Thank you for sharing the DomainNet dataset! I've been trying to download it recently from this link, but I keep encountering a 404 error. Could you please check and fix the issue?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Let me check the issue. Sometimes the server has some issues.

Also, I am considering uploading a copy to google drive.

Hi @mrtng7 and @lhq12 , is it accessible to you now? I was able to download today.

[lhq12]

Hi @piotr-teterwak, I'm still unable to access the dataset. When I click the data link, nothing happens.

[piotr-teterwak]

@lhq12 hmm, works fine for me. What browser are you using?

[piotr-teterwak]

Also, @lhq12 , which file exactly?

[xcpeng]

Not Found
The requested URL was not found on this server.

Same issue on my side.

[piotr-teterwak]

@xcpeng Is that all links or just one?

[xcpeng]

All the links.

I guess the link is accessible with BU VPN, but not the public internet

@piotr-teterwak I use Chrome and all the .zip file are not accessible for me.

@xcpeng @lhq12 So I just verified that I get 404 error with Chrome, but it is fine in Safari. I am not on any BU vpn. I will look into this in more detail as soon as I can, but can you try other browsers for now? Another option is wget command.

@piotr-teterwak It works in Safari. Thanks a lot for your patient help!

@xcpeng @lhq12 @piotr-teterwak I think the problem is in the URL/protocol. If you use https, you will get Not Found (with browsers) or 404 (with wget). But when I use http (without "s", e.g.: http://csr.bu.edu/ftp/visda/2019/multi-source/domainnet/txt/clipart_train.txt) with Chrome/Safari/wget, it works perfectly fine. I think it's just that Chrome automatically uses https.

@ljaiverson Great catch!!!
