Pip can't download pytorch, previous downloads page doesn't work either

1

Fresh install of ubuntu 16, I downloaded cuda fine, created a python3.5 virtual environment. Once there, I wrote pip install http://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu90/torch-0.4.0-cp35-cp35m-linux_x86_64.whl, which gave me a response of

download.pytorch .org gives me a flat 404 error when I try to manually open it, and if I try to download a previous version of pytorch I again get a 404 error. I had the same problem a few months ago, on a fully different setup. How can I fix it? Is pytorch not compatible with cuda9.0 or something?

Update: firefox fails, pip fails, wget fails, chromium works for some reason.

That’s strange, because it’s a valid link in Firefox on my system.
I’ve searched this error and just came across one post stating it was the proxy’s fault.

Don’t think that’s it, I should have the same IP in both firefox and chromium. Plus, a few months ago I had the same issue on a different network. The only thing I can guess, is that they filter requests in some way by user-agent AND location, so firefox-bulgaria is filtered, while chrome-bulgaria and firefox-russia are not.
