Description
There is the following issue on this page: https://docs.pytorch.org/tutorials/beginner/introyt/introyt1_tutorial.html
The training is great, but downloading the CIFAR10/100 sets is excruciatingly slow (think dialup internet speeds) and a real blocker if you're trying to follow along with your own code.
I am aware this dataset is not hosted by PyTorch, but given it's included as one of the datasets in torchvision, it may be worth considering hosting it yourselves.
Thanks

Research direction
Start with the Introduction to PyTorch page at docs.pytorch.org/tutorials/beginner/introyt/introyt1_tutorial.html and review how the CIFAR10/100 datasets are downloaded through torchvision. Clarify whether the desired outcome is PyTorch-hosted datasets or another download improvement; done should mean the chosen approach removes the reported download blocker for learners following the tutorial.
