401 Client Error Unauthorized for url

Beginners

Hello, I am a very beginner in this field. Recently, I was trying to reproduce a git repo on the high-performance computer at my university. I got the following error message. Then, I used “$ huggingface-cli login” and my token to login, but it didn’t help. The code used ProtBERT but not T5. I wonder why I need this .json file, and what are possible solutions to this problem. Thank you!

Unis are screwy. I know at mine I had some knucklehead in IT blocking the VNC ports so I had to reroute all my traffic through 80 to get things going. I would imagine it’s along those lines. What you can do is just download the model.bin, config.json, maybe a tokenizer depending on the model to a local folder then load them locally.
