Model files won't download

See original GitHub issue

Looks like there’s an issue with the server for the model files. Returns a 403 forbidden when attempting to download.

Thanks @rkcosmos!

One small thing: After redownloading the package as per your comment, I managed to download the models automatically, but I had to first install the requests library. Maybe the requests library should be automatically installed together with easyocr?

Traceback from my program:
