It looks like the NLTK project moved from google's defunct code hosting to github. The python-nltk code has an embedded index location stored within it, which has not been updated in the version in Ubuntu 14.04 to take into account the move from google to github. The current correct index url is https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nltk/nltk_data/gh-pages/index.xml I don't see a way to specify on the command line to specify a different index url, but it can be done programmatically. The attached quick and dirty scriptlet started the download process for me; I killed it before I let it finish. Save the file and edit the bit that defines DOWNLOAD_DIR to install the data into your preferred location if you want and the CORPUS field if you want something other than "all". Run it by doing "python download-nltk.py". Good luck. -- Steve Beattie <[email protected]> http://NxNW.org/~steve/
