I tried to install and compile Openpose, when I downloaded the models using bash ./getModels.sh, it could not be connected.

Anyway you can download this file manually. Like it seems in your log, somehow u can't download
http://posefs1.perception.cs.cmu.edu/OpenPose/models/pose/coco/pose_iter_440000.caffemodel
That is available manually. Just insert this link to the browser, and save this file to
{openpose_folder}modelsposecoco
It looked like an Internet connection issue at that specific moment. If someone experiences that error, please try again after a few minutes, it has never happened to me yet.
maybe it is the reason of window defender,i met the question now and i still dont know how to deal with it
You an always manually download them following doc/installation.md links.
Dear @gineshidalgo99, I checked out the link and I get this:

Yes, same issue.
Yes, same issue, what about other models?
Same issue.
The web cannot be reached for at least 3 days.
It is now back up. Sorry!
@gineshidalgo99 issue persists!
It seems that the site is back down again.
Same issue. Thanks for link for COCO model. But I need also MPI and BODY_25 ((
@shadkain All models are on Kaggle, select Download (783 MB) next to New Notebook and it will give you all of them. https://www.kaggle.com/changethetuneman/openpose-model
@mchiovaro could you share the link, please?
@shadkain Just added it to previous comment!
@mchiovaro thanks a lot <3
Sorry, please see See https://github.com/CMU-Perceptual-Computing-Lab/openpose/issues/1602#issuecomment-641653411
@mchiovaro @gineshidalgo99 I understand that the CMU link to caffe models is down. Are there different versions of caffemodels for ubuntu and windows? I've windows caffe models saved but need to run openpose in ubuntu(running on windows is not an option). If they are different,, does anyone have ubuntu version of caffe models hosted elsewhere?
When I manually uploaded the windows caffe models and tried to run openpose, it fails with the message below.

Ubuntu models are just auto-downloaded with CMake from another GitHub repo, that is not down.
@shadkain All models are on Kaggle, select Download (783 MB) next to New Notebook and it will give you all of them. https://www.kaggle.com/changethetuneman/openpose-model
After downloading what's the correct route to paste the models?
