I cant access to the imagenet vgg19 which is crucial to using this code implementation.
I get access forbidden. Any idea how to I download the .pkl file with wget?

I am having the same issues as well.

The reason is that the maintainers of thano recipes moved all the serialised pickle models to aws cli.
You need to pay for it because of the high bandwidth download spikes.
The other option is to use keras vgg pkl. Write a function to read in the pre trained model and extract the layer weights you need and perform the evaluation.

@ryankiros Can you close the issue?
