+### Dataset Summary
+
+**La**rge-scale **S**ingle **O**bject **T**racking (**LaSOT**) aims to provide a dedicated platform for training data-hungry deep trackers as well as assessing long-term tracking performance.
+
+This repositoy contains the new subset provided in the journal version of LaSOT (commonly called **LaSOT<sub>ext</sub>**), published on IJCV ([LaSOT: A High-quality Large-scale Single Object Tracking Benchmark](https://arxiv.org/abs/2009.03465)).
+
+For the training/testing splits of LaSOT (conference version), visit this [repo](https://huggingface.co/datasets/l-lt/LaSOT).
+
+## Download
+
+You can download the whole dataset using Git (with Git LFS):
+
+```bash
+git clone https://huggingface.co/datasets/l-lt/LaSOT-ext
+```
+
+Alternatively, download the videos of a specific category manually from this [page](https://huggingface.co/datasets/l-lt/LaSOT-ext/tree/main).
+
+LaSOT<sub>ext</sub> can also be downloaded from:
