Tried manually but the link is also times out: https://shapenet.cs.stanford.edu/media/modelnet40_ply_hdf5_2048.zip

Hence, I kindly ask, can you point me to the new dataset location?

Same issue here. It seems the shapenet.cs.stanford.edu is not reachable. Could you help provide a backup location to download the files?

In the error it points to the https address where you can get it. The cert is just not valid anymore. I opened the link in chrome and downloaded it that way. Then extract it into the data dir.
