Seems likely that the problem is with your internet connection though. Perhaps your server has a strict policy about which files can be downloaded and which ones can’t? Make sure AWS is accessible.
Might also be a problem with access to the cache directory but I would have expected an OSError or PermissionError in that case. You can verify that you have read/write access to ~/.cache/torch/transformers (<V4) or ~/.cache/huggingface/transformers (V4).
