Extremely slow PyTorch install

Hello, I am trying to install older versions of PyTorch and apparently, the pip install wheels do not work on anaconda, so I have to use conda install. However, the download is extremely slow when installing PyTorch. Is there a faster way to do this or somehow obtain a wheel of the previous versions? (1.0.0 and so)

EDIT: conda install pytorch==1.0.0 torchvision==0.2.1 -c pytorch failed with this error. This is very frustrating.

Try to create a new virtual environment and reinstall the binaries there. The PyTorch 1.0.0 pip wheel can be found here.
In any case, I would recommend to update to the latest PyTorch version, if possible, to get the latest features and fixes.

his is bcz u used pip and also conda , also sometimes it is bcz u install a different version. however, this issue is due to conda-package-handling
JUST write this command
conda update -n base conda-package-handling

Hi friends - Just ran into same issue after reinstalling my computer
and need venv reinstall again

I manages to excel it by changing torch to the end of the list in the requirements.txt
make it install after all others in the wheel
and it might fly :
