MNIST download not working...

Yes, this happened to me to a couple of days ago. I think it's because the MNIST website is currently down: http://yann.lecun.com/exdb/mnist/

In your case train_dataset = datasets.MNIST(root='data', ...) will create a folder MNIST to save the dataset in a 'data' subfolder. Here is a zipped version of an MNIST folder that I still have locally. I you unzip it and put it there, it should work: https://github.com/rasbt/stat453-deep-learning-ss21/blob/main/MNIST.zip
