(Load dataset failure) ConnectionError: Couldn’t reach https://raw.githubusercontent.com/huggingface/datasets/1.1.2/datasets/cnn_dailymail/cnn_dailymail.py
Are you running the script on a machine with an internet connection ? Yes ,  I can browse the url through Google Chrome. Does this HEAD request return 200 on your machine ?
```python
import requests                                                                                                                                                                                                         
requests.head("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/huggingface/datasets/1.1.2/datasets/cnn_dailymail/cnn_dailymail.py")
```

If it returns 200, could you try again to load the dataset ? Thank you very much for your response.
When I run 
``` 
import requests                                                                                                                                                                                                         
requests.head("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/huggingface/datasets/1.1.2/datasets/cnn_dailymail/cnn_dailymail.py")
```
It returns 200.

And I try again to load the dataset. I got the following errors again.

ConnectionError: Couldn't reach https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0BwmD_VLjROrfTHk4NFg2SndKcjQ

Connection error happened but the url was different.

I add the following code.
```
requests.head("https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0BwmD_VLjROrfTHk4NFg2SndKcjQ")
```
This  didn't  return 200
It returned like this:

For me 
```python
requests.head("https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0BwmD_VLjROrfTHk4NFg2SndKcjQ")
```
returns 200 I can browse the google drive through google chrome. It's weird. I can download the dataset through google drive manually. Could you try to update `requests` maybe ?
It works with 2.23.0 on my side My ```requests``` is 2.24.0 . It still can't return 200. Is it possible I download the dataset manually from google drive and use it for further test ? How can I do this ? I want to reproduce the model in this link https://huggingface.co/patrickvonplaten/bert2bert-cnn_dailymail-fp16. But I can't download the dataset through load_dataset method . I have tried many times  and the connection error always happens .
 The head request should definitely work, not sure what's going on on your side.
If you find a way to make it work, please post it here since other users might encounter the same issue.

If you don't manage to fix it you can use `load_dataset` on google colab and then save it using `dataset.save_to_disk("path/to/dataset")`.
Then you can download the directory on your machine and do
```python
from datasets import load_from_disk
dataset = load_from_disk("path/to/local/dataset")
``` Hi
I want to know if this problem has been solved because I encountered a similar issue. Thanks.
`train_data = datasets.load_dataset("xsum", `split="train")`
`ConnectionError:` Couldn't reach https://raw.githubusercontent.com/huggingface/datasets/1.1.3/datasets/xsum/xsum.py` Hi @smile0925 ! Do you have an internet connection ? Are you using some kind of proxy that may block the access to this file ?

Otherwise you can try to update `datasets` since we introduced retries for http requests in the 1.2.0 version
```
pip install --upgrade datasets
```
Let me know if that helps. Hi @lhoestq 
Oh, may be you are right. I find that my server uses some kind of proxy that block the access to this file.

I have the same problem, have you solved it? Many thanks Hi  @ZhengxiangShi 
You can first try whether your network can access these files. I need to use VPN to access these files, so I download the files that cannot be accessed to the local in advance, and then use them in the code. Like this,
`train_data = datasets.load_dataset("xsum.py", split="train")`
Hey, I want to load the cnn-dailymail dataset for fine-tune.
I write the code like this
from datasets import load_dataset

test_dataset = load_dataset(“cnn_dailymail”, “3.0.0”, split=“train”)

And I got the following errors.

Traceback (most recent call last):

raise ConnectionError(“Couldn’t reach {}”.format(url))
ConnectionError: Couldn’t reach https://raw.githubusercontent.com/huggingface/datasets/1.1.2/datasets/cnn_dailymail/cnn_dailymail.py

How can I fix this ?
