Description
At the time of writing, media.xiph.org seems to be inaccessible, which causes a compile block when downloading the model data (https://media.xiph.org/opus/models/opus_data-735117b.tar.gz).
In #337 it was mentioned that this file was too large to push to the repo, but storing it on an independent web server doesn't seem like an ideal solution. Perhaps you could consider git LFS instead?

Research direction
Start by tracing the model-data download for media.xiph.org/opus/models/opus_data-735117b.tar.gz and review the discussion in #337. Determine whether git LFS or another distribution approach can remove the compile block when that server is unavailable. Done means the model data remains obtainable and the project builds without relying on the inaccessible host.
