make the data directory
try:
  os.mkdir('/tmp/anime')
except OSError:

data_url = "https://storage.googleapis.com/laurencemoroney-blog.appspot.com/Resources/anime-faces.zip"
data_file_name = "animefaces.zip"
download_dir = '/tmp/anime/'

@794406612, you’re not doing anything wrong. The GCP bucket containing this file (and others for this course) is down. This issue has been escalated and they are trying to get it back up asap.

Watch this topic for updates.
