Help needed in downloading Brown corpus

[Shashank Singh]

try this:

run this in your terminal before you hit nltk.download().
Don't forget to set username, password and proxy info for your own
system.(in PROXY_INFO)

import urllib2

PROXY_INFO = {
  'user' : username,
  'pass' : password,
  'host' : proxy_server,
  'port' : proxy_port
}

proxy_support = urllib2.ProxyHandler({"http" : \
    "http://%(user)s:%(pass)s@%(host)s:%(port)d" % PROXY_INFO})
opener = urllib2.build_opener(proxy_support, urllib2.HTTPHandler)

urllib2.install_opener(opener)
