Hi, Im streaming laion2b dataset using:

```auto
self.dataset = load_dataset("laion/laion2b-en", streaming=True,split="train")

```

And Im getting this error:

```auto
requests.exceptions.ReadTimeout: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='huggingface.co', port=443): Read timed out.

```

This is not he interesting part, whats interesting is that it worked for two weeks in a row, out of no where, the streaming stopped and now I cant run (getting error above).  
My network manager says nothing changed in the configuration/proxy or anything else, did something change from the “datasets” package side?

The full trace is:

```auto

Facing the same issue with tiiuae/falcon-7b-instruct. Working on HuggingFace 0.0.1 with similar boilerplate as mentioned above.

The models that I have already pre-installed locally seems to work fine though.

The Hub had a minor outage. Can you please try again and report if it works now?

We are seeing the same issue in some CI jobs that leverage huggingface models, for example:

I have the same issue right now (I also have problem when I want to upload file/ folder / model / dataset, there are other times when model and dataset is loaded to cache, cloning to my hub repo to local is done but out of nowhere the job is killed and training does not start)

is there a way to monitor when there is an outage - a webpage with outages that are happening so that we don’t waste time on looking for solutions?

Has anyone figured out how to resolve this issue when it appears? According to the HuggingFace Status page, everything is currently operational.

I started having the problem today with a training job in SageMaker which worked last night and the only thing that has changed is the dataset I’m using for training and that downloaded fine. It times out part way through downloading safetensors files for `meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-hf`.

@mariosasko Any other insights or potential awareness of an outage that is not showing up on the status page yet? Thanks!

Using the following versions:

```auto
accelerate-0.21.0
bitsandbytes-0.40.2 
huggingface-hub-0.17.3 
optimum-1.13.2 
peft-0.4.0 
safetensors-0.3.3 
sagemaker-training-4.7.0 
transformers-4.33.3

```

Error Log:

One solution is to add the parameter of **resume\_download=True** in from\_pretrained or where the error occurs and then just rerun the code. Suppose your download was finished in 10% progress previously, now upon rerunning the code it will not start from the beginning, rather it will continue downloading from 10% or where it was finished previously.  
For example:

```auto
from transformers import AutoModelForSequenceClassification
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained("bert-base-cased", num_labels=5,resume_download=True)

```
