download failed due to ProxyError

When I exec python -m spacy download en, report error:

Hm, I'm not sure what is causing this. Are you perhaps behind a firewall at work, or something such?

To avoid using the download command, you can download the model directly by locating the release on the models documentation page, for instance https://spacy.io/models/en, click on "release details" and copy the link location of the tar.gz file. Then do:

pip install https://github.com/explosion/spacy-models/releases/download/en_core_web_sm-3.0.0/en_core_web_sm-3.0.0.tar.gz

Does that work for you?
