After checking, I can download it successfully.
Please check if there is network issue on your side or something blocking issue. Thanks.

Please try

Refer to TrafficCamNet | NVIDIA NGC

Thanks for replying. But this does not solve my problem. I signed up a NVIDIA DLI online course, and I need to run this command inside that controlled environment of that course. The JupyterLab notebook is hosted on Jupyter Server
I tried to email DLI about this issue, no luck so far.

Me too , same issue with the command :

but it doesn’t work with CLI

There is no update from you for a period, assuming this is not an issue any more.
Hence we are closing this topic. If need further support, please open a new one.
Thanks

Could you retry CLI? Actually I cannot reproduce any error.
