Caltech datasets downloading fails in Google Collab

[DesuDesu1]

🐛 Describe the bug

Trying to download Caltech256 dataset, but it gives me an error (Same happens when i'm trying to download Caltech101)

The code to reproduce
import torch
import torch.nn as nn
import torch.optim as optim
from torchvision import datasets, transforms
from torch.utils.data import DataLoader
import os
transform = transforms.Compose([
transforms.Grayscale(),
transforms.ToTensor(),
])
train_dataset = datasets.Caltech256(root='./data', download=True, transform=transform)

This code gives me an error:
/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/torchvision/datasets/utils.py:260: UserWarning: We detected some HTML elements in the downloaded file. This most likely means that the download triggered an unhandled API response by GDrive. Please report this to torchvision at https://github.com/pytorch/vision/issues including the response:

Google Drive can't scan this file for viruses.

256_ObjectCategories.tar (1.1G) is too large for Google to scan for viruses. Would you still like to download this file?

Thank you for the report @DesuDesu1 . This is the same issue as in #8204 (comment) so I'll close this one. Please see my message there for the recommended temporary fix and the future plan. Thank you

Hi @DesuDesu1 , torchvision 0.17.1 is out and the download util should now be fixed. For it to work, you'll need to pip install gdown
