Unable to download datasets - access to download link denied about rs_datasets HOT 1 CLOSED

I was able to reproduce this issue.

It seems that this is a problem with google drive blocking download for public files via command line, I found an issue on a gdown repo wkentaro/gdown#43

It seems that the only workaround at this moment would be to manually replicate steps from the _download method.

So what you have to do is:

• download dataset using your browser from https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0B7XZSACQf0KdenRmMk8yVUU5LWc
• place it in where it should have been downloaded, which in your case would be ~/datasets/diginetica/diginetica.zip
• call rs_datasets.data_loader.extract on this archive or do the same actions yourself
• remove diginetica.zip file

Now you should be able to load it with d = Diginetica('~/datasets/diginetica').

Hope this helps and sorry for the inconvenience.
