[FIXED] How to fix "ConnectionResetError: [Errno 104] Connection reset by peer" error?

Issue

I'm trying to download MNIST dataset on GPU of google colaboratory. But it is showing me "ConnectionResetError: [Errno 104] Connection reset by peer" error message.

from sklearn.datasets import fetch_mldata
dataset = fetch_mldata('MNIST original')
data = dataset.data

And the following error I'm getting:

/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/sklearn/utils/deprecation.py:85: DeprecationWarning: Function fetch_mldata is deprecated; fetch_mldata was deprecated in version 0.20 and will be removed in version 0.22. Please use fetch_openml.
  warnings.warn(msg, category=DeprecationWarning)

    588                 self._timeout_occurred = True

ConnectionResetError: [Errno 104] Connection reset by peer

It is taking too long to show this error message. How to resolve this?

Solution

The MNIST dataset is removed from the sklearn. That is why I was facing that problem. Following is an alternate solution to load MNIST data:

from sklearn.datasets import fetch_mldata
mnist = fetch_mldata('MNIST original')
