Hi,

I am trying to run the Deep\_SSM use case.  
My internet is not that that fast and I am running into issues with the download failing due to the amazon cloud server running out of allotted time. I have login details for the cloud, smaller downloads work. I have tried restarting and running the line individually:

sw.download\_dataset(dataset\_name, output\_directory)

But it tries to restart the entire process and I end up in the same position with 60% downloaded only before it fails.

Please advise how I can fix this?

Hi,

You can try the following:

1. Download a copy of the dataset directory from here:

[https://www.sci.utah.edu/~shapeworks/data-sets/deep\_ssm\_femur.zip](https://www.sci.utah.edu/~shapeworks/data-sets/deep_ssm_femur.zip)

1. Extract it into the Examples/Python/Output folder so that you have Examples/Python/Output/deep\_ssm/  
and Examples/Python/Output/deep\_ssm\_femur.downloaded
2. Run the use case as normal
