error installing nltk supporting packages : nltk.download() in python

Question

I installed nltk package. Following that I am trying to download the supporting packages using nltk.download() and am getting error:

[Errno 11001] getaddrinfo

I tried changing server index as suggested by previous answers for this question but that didn't help me.

Can anyone please help me
