nltk.download()

[RJS]

using the python 2.7.3  command line:

>>> import nltk

>>>nltk.download()

The NLTK Downloader window appears (server index  http://nltk.github.com/nltk_data/)  and the python window shows "showing info http://nltk.github.com/nltk_data/"

 I select "all packages" and click on download.   The message bar in the NLTK downloader window  then display several packages but when it displays    'framenet_v15'  the download hangs up and does not complete the download (since framenet_v15 is a 66 mb file I let the download run for several hours without success). The  python window displayed the message

WindowsError: [Error 32] The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process : 'C:/nltk_data\\corpora\\franement_v15.zip'

  I then went to the http://nltk.org/nltk_data/ site and attempted to download the framenet_v15 file.  The download lasted for about 1 minute (6% of the file) and then hung up at that point.

Any suggestions as to how to correct or workaround the problem will be appreciated !!

Sorry for the problems with downloading NLTK data. There appears to be a problem with how the nltk.org domain is set up. You can sidestep the problem and download them manually here:

https://github.com/nltk/nltk_data/tree/gh-pages/packages (individual packages)

https://github.com/nltk/nltk_data/archive/gh-pages.zip (entire collection > 2GB)

You can follow our progress in resolving the problem here:
