Downloading of SynthText Pre-generated Dataset

[Oleksii1Kh]

Hi, I can't find the link for downloading SynthText dataset...

[cm107]

Same here. Is it no longer possible to download the original SynthText dataset anywhere?

I think you have to download it by torrent. The actual dataset is in file SynthText.zip

The link above was hidden in the readme:

--datadir points to the renderer_data directory included in the data torrent.

I find the torrent link is not available. @spaceman-cb

@kxqt It seems to work for me, but I'm not the maintainer of this project. If you're having issues, perhaps @ankush-me, the owner of the project, could help?

[kxqt]

It seems strange! I can not access it.

[spaceman-cb]

@kxqt my guess is it is some kind of regional restriction. Maybe try with a VPN?

[kxqt]

Thanks! But I try to use VPN and nothing changes.

it's most probably due to the network. I faced the same problem and changed to another 🪜, then the problem is solved.
