Howto: Download notebooks when "error" or blank

Short Course Q&A Large Language Models with Semantic Search
1

I found out how to download all notebooks. Do Kernel | Shutdown | (say NO if it asks if you want to restart kernel) | Download | HTML

The kernel shutdown sequence resolved all problems for me.

It used to be that the first couple of notebooks would download fine, then no more. What seems to be happening as I discovered today is that something is exceeding a quota or limit on your user account after you download a few notebooks.

The solution is to turn off the kernel before download on every notebook.

Hello @geoffreya ,

Thanks for letting us know the issue.
We just had a new update for our Jupyter labs.
Could you try normal download button and check if it works now.

With regards,

Most of times it does not work. But not only for this course, it is most of times not possible to download the notebook in most of the short-courses.

Thanks for the tip, but when I shut down my kernel the notebook still does not download. No file formats download for me, with or without an active kernel. Every time I try to download, it opens a new blank webpage and that is all.

Hello!
I’m also having this issue. I was able to download a few notebooks but am no longer able to do so with any notebook.
Any suggestion is appreciated -thanks!

I have a method to download them but it’s far from ideal.
Go to the page that you want to download and open the dev tools (right click → inspect, or F12).
From there, go to the network tab. Then reload the page and filter the network traces by “.ipynb”. You will see then just a couple of traces, one of these is the notebook itself.
Just copy the response removing the first brackets content and save it as your .ipynb.

For example, from this response:

{
    "name": "L3-Chains.ipynb",
    "path": "L3-Chains.ipynb",
    "last_modified": "2024-01-18T11:29:46Z",
    "created": "2024-03-03T12:29:34.288504Z",
    "content": {
        "cells": [
            {
            ...}
        "nbformat": 4,
        "nbformat_minor": 5
    },
    "format": "json",
    "mimetype": null,
    "size": 18388,
    "writable": true,
    "type": "notebook"
}

I’ll save just this:

{
        "cells": [
            {
            ...}
        "nbformat": 4,
        "nbformat_minor": 5
    }

Hope this helps!
