The official page: https://www.image-net.org/challenges/LSVRC/index.php points to a download link on <Kaggle>: https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/imagenet-object-localization-challenge/data Kaggle says that the size is 167.62 GB!

To download from Kaggle, create an API token on kaggle.com, which downloads a `kaggle.json` file then:
``
mkdir -p ~/.kaggle
mv ~/down/kaggle.json ~/.kaggle
python3 -m pip install kaggle
kaggle competitions download -c imagenet-object-localization-challenge
``
The download speed is wildly server/limited and take A LOT of hours. Also, the tool does not seem able to pick up where you stopped last time.

Another download location appears to be: https://huggingface.co/datasets/imagenet-1k on <Hugging Face>, but you have to login due to their license terms. Once you login you have a very basic data explorer available: https://huggingface.co/datasets/imagenet-1k/viewer/default/train[].
