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

# download the zipped dataset to the data directory
data_url = "https://storage.googleapis.com/laurencemoroney-blog.appspot.com/Resources/anime-faces.zip"
data_file_name = "animefaces.zip"
download_dir = '/tmp/anime/'
urllib.request.urlretrieve(data_url, data_file_name)

# extract the zip file
zip_ref = zipfile.ZipFile(data_file_name, 'r')
zip_ref.extractall(download_dir)
zip_ref.close()

```

then get an error

```auto

```

is that URL wrong, or I do some thing wrong?

@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](https://community.deeplearning.ai/t/file-is-not-a-zip-file/254618) for updates.

@794406612 Thank you very much, I just logged into this forum to report the same issue and you’ve beaten me to it. Oh well, will just have to wait.
