Hi @tanhanzhuo, thanks for raising this issue! 

Is seems like there's a connection issue when trying to download from the hub. I've just tested locally by clearing my cache and forcing a download with `AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('bert-base-uncased')`, which ran successfully. Have you tested the internet connection in the running environment? If so, is this only seen when downloading from the hugging face hub? <|||||>> Hi @tanhanzhuo, thanks for raising this issue!

Thank you for reply! The error exists for around 2 hours, but now everything works well again.

During the error, I could load the model by setting local_files_only=True, but cannot download from the hub. Guess some strange bug occurred<|||||>Sorry to ask a little more. I used to meet the same problem as mentioned above. But I found that this error is not always in that way. 

For example, if I want to initialize a pretrained stable diffusion model according to the demo code. The first several trials (usually around 4-5 times) will encounter this error. But if you keep on trying, it runs without any errors. 

I am not sure if it is possible to enhance the pretrained weights loading code, to support try downloading the weights several times, so that the user with this error can set a relatively large times to try on downloading the weights. In that way, someone with this, maybe so-called **random** `ConnectionError`, can avoid it. :pray:<|||||>> Sorry to ask a little more. I used to meet the same problem as mentioned above.

Same here, just kept trying and everthing went well. 🤣
