I'm experiencing an issue with the NLTK library in Python, specifically when trying to download the 'punkt' tokenizer models. Here's the error message I receive:
Context:
I'm attempting to download the punkt package using the following code:
import nltk
nltk.download('punkt')
Troubleshooting Steps I've Taken:
Checked my internet connection, which seems to be working fine.
Temporarily disabled firewall and antivirus software, but the issue persists.
Attempted to use a different internet connection (e.g., mobile hotspot), but faced the same error.
A very strange error :

It seems to be that on some networks, I've been told "Jio" is one of them, raw.githubusercontent.com is not accessible, e.g.: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nltk/nltk_data/gh-pages/packages/tokenizers/punkt.xml
