Unable to run search_clip_images.py

Hi, I attempt to run search_clip_images.py either in your docker container or out and I get the same error like nothing is going into image_url.txt file:
python3 search_clip_images.py
"data/text_prompts.txt"
"data/image_urls.txt"
-n 5000
-m 10000
--max_workers 2
--append
Found the following 2 text prompts in data/text_prompts.txt
['Drone', 'Helicopter']
Querying images with the following prompts...
Drone

FYI, debug raised the following:

The "502 Bad Gateway" error indicates a communication issue between two servers acting as gateways or proxies to fulfill a request. It doesn't specify a problem with your device or internet connection, but rather a fault within the servers involved.

Here's a breakdown of the key points:

Your request reached the first server (nginx) successfully.
Nginx forwarded the request to another upstream server to complete it.
The upstream server failed to respond correctly, causing nginx to return the 502 error.

Possible causes for this error:

Upstream Server Down: The upstream server might be unavailable or experiencing issues.
Overloaded Upstream Server: The upstream server might be overloaded with requests and unable to handle more.
Network Problems: There might be network connectivity issues between nginx and the upstream server.
Misconfiguration: Nginx or the upstream server might be misconfigured.

I encountered the same problem, did you solve this problem?

Looks like the web server hosting the service: https://knn.laion.ai/knn-service is down. I get a 500 error for that url, but also for https://knn.laion.ai/.

Don't know if NVIDIA has an internally hosted alternative? Seems the team from LAION doesn't think the server will be back up anytime soon: rom1504/clip-retrieval#324
