Exception: Download failed for English → Spanish

[amitli1]

I'm trying to run the basic example and failed:

import argostranslate.package
import argostranslate.translate

from_code = "en"
to_code   = "es"

# Download and install Argos Translate package
argostranslate.package.update_package_index()
available_packages = argostranslate.package.get_available_packages()
package_to_install = next(
    filter(
        lambda x: x.from_code == from_code and x.to_code == to_code, available_packages
    )
)

argostranslate.package.install_from_path(package_to_install.download())

# Translate
translatedText = argostranslate.translate.translate("Hello World", from_code, to_code)
print(translatedText)

Error:

I'm using:

• windows 10
• python 3.10.0
• argostranslate==1.8.0

I think the issue is that the Cloudflare download failed for some reason.
