<p dir="auto">Hi,<br>
I am working with tensorflow to build a network using mnist data set but it is showing connection refused error.</p>

<p dir="auto">The website of Yann LeCun is down at the moment.<br>
Therefore the MNIST-Script for downloading the files doesn't work either. (-&gt; learn/python/learn/datasets/mnist.py won't work)<br>
Are there any mirrors?</p>
