A while ago, when downloading big files from Google Drive, Google introduced a confirmation page that warns about the file not being virus-checked. Since the direct download links in TFDS were no longer functional, we tried to circumvent this confirmation page by appending
confirm=t
to the URL.More recently, Google also disallows this circumvention by adding a temporary UUID to the confirmation download URLs, so it is no longer possible to download from GDrive using a static URL.
Several datasets therefore are no longer functional, throwing a
NonMatchingChecksumError
:This PR parses the retrieved confirmation page and extracts the confirmation download URL, fixing downloading of the above datasets.
Fixes #8981, #5729, #5232, #5544, #5535.
