Hi,  
I am trying to follow the “tutorial/NeuralNetworksIntroduction#621730217” Introduction to Neural Nets and as I execute the first two lines, I get an error.  
I have a Direct connection to the Internet.  
I am using 12.1.1.0 Home Edition.  
What is wrong here?  
Thanks ahead,  
János

You may have a bad cache of the data on your computer. Try clearing the local cache with:

```auto
DeleteObject[ResourceObject["MNIST"]]

```

before trying again.
