Connection timed out

Are these models still available to download? I am trying out the Semantic Similarity example, but when I download the model:

embedder = SentenceTransformer('bert-base-nli-mean-tokens'),

I get a Connection Error:

ConnectionError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host=‘public.ukp.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de’, port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /reimers/sentence-transformers/v0.2/bert-base-nli-mean-tokens.zip (Caused by NewConnectionError(‘<urllib3.connection.VerifiedHTTPSConnection object at 0x151808128>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 60] Operation timed out’,))

I checked my network settings, and everything looks fine: no proxies, I can download models from other packages, no firewall.

Anyone had the same issue?

Hi @AMChierici If the automatic download does not work, you can find all models here: https://public.ukp.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/reimers/sentence-transformers/v0.2/

Download it, unzip it and then you can get the embedder like this:

embedder = SentenceTransformer('path/to/unzipped/model')

There is currently a power outage. I hope the server is back up soon.

You can also access the models via huggingface https://huggingface.co/sentence-transformers/bert-base-nli-mean-tokens

This is how you load them from huggingface https://sbert.net/docs/training/overview.html#creating-networks-from-scratch
