python -m spacy download en too slow how to speed up

Question

The speed is less 10KB/s when I run python -m spacy download en
For example:

Looking in indexes: https://pypi.mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/simple/
Collecting en_core_web_sm==2.1.0 from https://github.com/explosion/spacy-models/releases/download/en_core_web_sm-2.1.0/en_core_web_sm-2.1.0.tar.gz#egg=en_core_web_sm==2.1.0
Downloading https://github.com/explosion/spacy-models/releases/download/en_core_web_sm-2.1.0/en_core_web_sm-2.1.0.tar.gz (11.1MB)
29% |█████████▍ | 3.2MB 8.0kB/s eta 0:16:16

And then the connection will break because of reading time out. But I can download en_core_web_sm-2.1.0.tar.gz in my browser quickly. how can I use en_core_web_sm-2.1.0.tar.gz directly by using a command line such as

python -m spacy install ./en_core_web_sm-2.1.0.tar.gz

try pip install ./en_core_web_sm-2.1.0.tar.gz – Salvadorsalvadore

Just use colab for downloading the file, and then you can download it faster from colab, use the wget command to download the file on colab.

!wget <download URL>

Download the file from colab, then install it with pip in your python environment

pip install <location of the file>
