download for glove 6B fails

[dhansmair]

Hi there!
Installation of the package succeeds, but I get the following errors when running nlg-eval --setup:

Downloading http://nlp.stanford.edu/data/glove.6B.zip to /home/david/.cache/nlgeval.

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

apparently, glove.6B.zip does not exist anymore.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I can confirm that the download doesn't start in my browser when I use the link to http://nlp.stanford.edu/data/glove.6B.zip found on the project page at https://nlp.stanford.edu/projects/glove/.

A power outage, I see. I'll close this then. Thanks a lot!
