Cannot Download Dataset – MinIO Server Timeout (Request for Alternative Hosting)

[fiyud]

I am currently trying to download the dataset using the provided download_data.py script, but I consistently receive a connection timeout error when attempting to access the MinIO server:

airlab-share-02.andrew.cmu.edu:9000

It appears that the MinIO server may not be publicly accessible (possibly restricted to internal CMU network or VPN).

Got error as following

Traceback (most recent call last):

Could you please clarify:

Is VPN access required to download the dataset?
is the MinIO server restricted to internal CMU network?

Additionally, would it be possible to provide an alternative public download mirror with Google Drive, Kaggle,... etc. That would be so helpfull, thank you
