Oh no, something went wrong in the scheduled workflow tests/download. Please look into it:

Feel free to close this if this was just a one-off error.

[NicolasHug]

The new URLs seem to be http://places2.csail.mit.edu/download.html and the dataset is marked as "Under Maintenance".

Let's wait a bit for the authors' response on https://github.com/CSAILVision/places365/issues/90 before we decide what to do with it

Are there any updates regarding this issue?

From the website:

Dataset is under maintenance. If you have urgent use of the dataset, please contact Bolei Zhou at [email protected]. Please describe your affiliation and your purpose of using the dataset.

any idea what is this maintenance and when should it be over?

[pmeier]

I've contacted the author last week and although I don't have an official confirmation yet, our download tests indicate that the site is back to normal starting Jan 13, 2023 (#7071).
