Our cluster is currently down for maintenance. It should be back within a day.

We have disabled our tests again due to the URL issue.

I'm a little confused by that comment, because aren't those tests downloading mock zip files instead of the original zip files on nlp.stanford.edu? Regardless, the nlp.stanford.edu url is working again.

Disabled tests again due to URL breakage pytorch/text#920.

To answer your question @AngledLuffa, we are using mock zip files for our tests, however, the filename is found by getting the headers from a HTTP GET call. You can refer to this code snippet for more info.

Can I recommend mocking that as well, then? Because our hardware occasionally has problems, and while we obviously want to fix it as quickly as possible, we also don't want to be responsible for your unit tests not working.

Yeap. That's what we are planning to do. But we probably won't moch the entire datasets because we don't want to host the datasets for legal issue.
