Maskrcnn-benchmark: Error after fresh install: Cannot import '_download_url_to_file' from 'torch.utils.model_zoo'

[Jinksi]

🐛 Bug

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install as per instructions (Ubuntu DSVM)
2. Attempt to start training

Error

The error is:
ImportError: cannot import name '_download_url_to_file' from 'torch.utils.model_zoo'

Additional context

If I am seeing things clearly, torch.utils.model_zoo no longer contains _download_url_to_file.

@my-hello-world as a temp fix, you make these changes to maskrcnn_benchmark/utils/model_zoo.py

Hello,
I am still getting the error in docker image. I update file as proposed temporary fix above but same error shows up. It seems somewhat cached code is run. How can i force it to use normal code instead of cached (well, if that is the case)
thanks in advance

And the head content of model_zoo.py is as follows ( I commented out torch.utils related lines):
