Is there an updated url for that dataset?


Solution

  • Just update your vaex version,

    pip install --upgrade vaex
    

    For example, in v1.0.0 it tries to download the data from

    http://vaex.astro.rug.nl/data/helmi-dezeeuw-2000-10p.hdf5

    while in version 3.0.0 it downloads it from

    https://github.com/vaexio/vaex-datasets/releases/download/v1.0/helmi-dezeeuw-2000-FeH-v2-10percent.hdf5.
