Hey, I want to load the cnn-dailymail dataset for fine-tune.  
I write the code like this  
from datasets import load\_dataset

test\_dataset = load\_dataset(“cnn\_dailymail”, “3.0.0”, split=“train”)

And I got the following errors.

Traceback (most recent call last):  
File “test.py”, line 7, in   
test\_dataset = load\_dataset(“cnn\_dailymail”, “3.0.0”, split=“test”)  
File “C:\Users\666666\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\lib\site-packages\datasets\load.py”, line 589, in load\_dataset

raise ConnectionError(“Couldn’t reach {}”.format(url))  
ConnectionError: Couldn’t reach [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/huggingface/datasets/1.1.2/datasets/cnn\_dailymail/cnn\_dailymail.py](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/huggingface/datasets/1.1.2/datasets/cnn_dailymail/cnn_dailymail.py)

How can I fix this ?
