I asked the vggface2 administrator to fix the link.
You will be able to download it now.

How can I download the dataset if my machine is headless? I have no way of using a browser to click the link that points to the tar.gz file

The download is not resume-able, I tried to download it several times but every time it fails due to interrupted network or power failure. Someone please share the cloud drive link. baidu or dropbox

I wanted to download the dataset today and I am having the same issue, I am also unsure how to officially contact the Visual Group people since their webmaster email domain no longer exists.

EDIT
The issue was fixed (as of Monday 15th July 2019)
