I have already logged in Huggingface using CLI with my valid token. Now trying to download the datasets using following code:


    from transformers import WhisperProcessor, WhisperForConditionalGeneration, WhisperTokenizer, Trainer, TrainingArguments, DataCollatorForSeq2Seq
    from datasets import load_dataset, DatasetDict, Audio
    
    def load_and_preprocess_dataset():
        dataset = load_dataset("mozilla-foundation/common_voice_17_0", "bn")
        dataset = dataset.remove_columns(["accent", "age", "client_id", "down_votes", "gender", "locale", "segment", "up_votes"])
        dataset = dataset.cast_column("audio", Audio(sampling_rate=16000))
        dataset = dataset["train"].train_test_split(test_size=0.1)
        dataset = DatasetDict({
            "train": dataset["train"],
            "test": dataset["test"]
        })
        return dataset
    
    load_and_preprocess_dataset()


I am getting following error:

**What's wrong with the code?** Please note that the error is happening only when I am running from my office network due to probably proxy. Which URL, I need to take a proxy exception?
