Week 2 - Exercise 2 - Transfer Learning with MobilNet

In the second part of the exercise’s non graded code, the code makes a call to get the MobileNetV2 weights. The code tries to download mobilenet_v2_weights_tf_dim_ordering_tf_kernels_1.0_160.h5, but for over a day now, returns a “timeout error”, ultimately returning the exception “Cannot assign requested address”.

Is this happening for anyone else?

Yes, there have been about 10 reports.
