hi @Leo16112 - is this still an issue?

sometimes the google colab environment can be temperamental and restarting an environment can fix these issues

let me know if this is still a problem for you

Hello @makeyourownneuralnetwork ,

I was looking for a solution and found out, that it happens sometimes, because it could be out of download limits. But it was two weeks ago, so I did not keep the link.
I solved it by downloading the data set from the original source.

Thank you very much for your respond.
