u2net.pth unable to automatically download due to permission issue

[teyou]

When I run this command from the provided docker image
python run_object_sketching.py --target_file "camel.png"

It shows this error:

Access denied with the following error:

        Cannot retrieve the public link of the file. You may need to change
        the permission to 'Anyone with the link', or have had many accesses. 

You may still be able to access the file from the browser:

         https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1ao1ovG1Qtx4b7EoskHXmi2E9rp5CHLcZ 

[teyou]

the fix is simply to change the gdown version to the latest one

ref: wkentaro/gdown#43

If still have issue, can try this step

pip install --upgrade --no-cache-dir gdown

then 
1. cd to `./U2Net_/saved_models/`
2. run gdown https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1ao1ovG1Qtx4b7EoskHXmi2E9rp5CHLcZ

Hi @teyou, thanks for your interest in our project, and thanks for sharing your solution.

Another possible solution in case the provided link is not working, is using this command to download the trained weights of u2net from huggingface:
wget https://huggingface.co/akhaliq/CLIPasso/resolve/main/u2net.pth --output-document=U2Net_/saved_models/u2net.pth
