Problem downloading the dataset

Hi there,
Just joined this competiton.
There seems to be an issue downloading the image.zip file. It downloads 23.2 MB then freezes. Can this be investigated? Or kindly provide another avenue to download them
Someone pleasse look into this? It's still stuck on 23.2 MB
UPDATE: We can just run `curl -C - -O -L https://storage.googleapis.com/road-handwriting/images.zip` from the terminal and it seems to work
