# Original script from @anokas: https://www.kaggle.com/anokas/py3-image-downloader-w-progress-bar
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Note: requires the tqdm package (pip install tqdm)

# Note to Kagglers: This script will not run directly in Kaggle kernels. You
# need to download it and run it on your local machine.

# Downloads images from the Google Landmarks dataset using multiple threads.
# Images that already exist will not be downloaded again, so the script can
# resume a partially completed download. All images will be saved in the JPG
# format with 90% compression quality.

Hi @xdanielc, the URL shows that the images are accessed through a database, not an http server.
That's why it won't work.
