urllib3.exceptions.MaxRetryError: [...]: 
Max retries exceeded with url: /7iN4ABrn4Mh8GMQBmryq_5AsC9VuKgyggcr5ZJ1sgEk ([...] Failed to resolve 'arweave.net'))

This error is most likely due to DNS resolution issues.

Solution: To resolve DNS resolution errors, you can change your DNS server to use a more reliable option such as Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 or Google's 8.8.8.8. Here are instructions for changing the DNS server on different operating systems:

Linux

• Open the terminal.
• Edit the `/etc/resolv.conf` file using your preferred text editor. For example:

  sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf
• Add the following lines at the top of the file to set your DNS server to `1.1.1.1`:

  nameserver 1.1.1.1
• Save the file and exit the text editor.
• Restart your network manager or networking service to apply the changes. The command may vary depending on your Linux distribution. For example:

  sudo systemctl restart network-manager

Mac

• Open the "System Preferences" from the Apple menu.
• Click on "Network."
• Select your active network connection (Wi-Fi or Ethernet).
• Click the "Advanced" button.
• Go to the "DNS" tab.
• In the "DNS Servers" section, click the "+" button and add 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8.
• Click "OK" and then "Apply" to save the changes.

Windows

• Open the "Control Panel."
• Click on "Network and Sharing Center."
• Click on your active network connection.
• Click "Properties."
• Select "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" and click "Properties."
• Choose "Use the following DNS server addresses."
• Enter 1.1.1.1 as the preferred DNS server or 8.8.8.8 as an alternative DNS server.
• Click "OK" to save the settings.

Note: After changing your DNS server, you may need to restart your network connection or computer to apply the new settings.

More Information: If you continue to experience issues after changing your DNS server, please check your network configuration and ensure that your internet connection is stable.
