Pytorch dataset download triggers IDM

Question

I normally use Internet Download Manager to download my files, but I don't want Pytorch triggering IDM everything I try to download datasets. For example:

training_data = datasets.FashionMNIST(
    root="data",
    train=True,
    download=True,
    transform=ToTensor()
)

Triggers IDM like this:

Is there anyway for me to make IDM not do this? Is this IDM's fault?

Answer 1

You can set the progress bar to the PyTorch's built-in download progress bar by:

import os
os.environ['TORCH_HOME'] = './data'
