@arindal1 Why did you comment this block out? Was it issues with wget or something?
What's it's purpose?

[arindal1]

To answer it simply, the WGet version I installed wasn't working properly, so I looked for an alternative.
The purpose of WGet is just to download YOLOv5's PyTorch models from (https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5/releases/download/v6.1) inside ../models/.
The WGet I installed wasn't working, and was throwing errors. I looked around and remembered that urllib did the same thing.
So, I imported urllib.request, which is based on Python environment. It downloads the PyTorch models into ../models/ just like WGet would have.

for url in urls:
    filename = url.split("/")[-1]  # Extract the filename from the URL
    urllib.request.urlretrieve(url, filename)
    print(f"Downloaded {filename}")

print("Downloads complete.")

.pt signifies a PyTorch model, so we are later exporting these PyTorch models to ONNX format.

Thanks @arindal1 !
