Error in downloading NLTK data: [Errno 11004] getaddrinfo failed

I have installed NLTK module but when I try to install the data I am getting the error below.

enter image description here

>>>import nltk
>>> nltk.download('punkt')
[nltk_data] Error loading punkt: <urlopen error [Errno 11004]
[nltk_data]     getaddrinfo failed>
False

How should I install the data?

I understand this is a very old question but wanted to share my experience for anyone who may experience this situation in future. What i did was (in windows 10) -

  1. open command prompt.
  2. set proxies using command: 
    set HTTP_PROXY=http://userid:password@proxyurl:port
set HTTPS_PROXY=http://userid:password@proxyurl:port
set FTP_PROXY=http://userid:password@proxyurl:port
  3. run command: 
    python -m nltk.downloader

The issue might be of the Proxy that is setup in the system.

instead of:

>>import nltk
>>nltk.download()

use:

>>nltk.set_proxy('SYSTEM PROXY')
>>nltk.download()

This should solve the problem. And to find the proxy of the system: search proxy in start option of windows.
