For downloading the dataset, please use the scientific data sharing called Dat, which we have more information about it
on our wiki: http://newton.i2lab.ucf.edu/wiki/Dat.  If you would like to try downloading via Dat, it will probably work.
Seeding the download would also be helpful once you have it and will make it easier and faster for others to download the
dataset.  The Dat link for it is dat://3b3e6b0949acac6ca2187f24400e2760eaed1dd2c0bb326515d7ee3ca01e82d3 .  
One other change is that it is now compressed using ZPAQ, rather than as a tar.gz… Gzip had actually made the archive bigger 
originally because it’s all videos and images!  More information about ZPAQ is available at http://newton.i2lab.ucf.edu/wiki/ZPAQ and is available for all major operating systems.
