Hello,

I’m trying to download a repo from huggingface using the code below. Sadly I got an error that I can’t resolve.

```auto
from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download

snapshot_download(repo_id="openclimatefix/era5-land", repo_type="dataset", 
cache_dir="/home/saben1/scratch/o/slurms/data_4", etag_timeout=120, 
resume_download=True)

```

```auto
requests.exceptions.ConnectionError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='huggingface.co', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /api/datasets/openclimatefix/era5-land/revision/main (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.HTTPSConnection object at 0x2aba8ecc7070>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 101] Network is unreachable'))

```

Can Someone please help me ?
