Having challenges to upload large file to Paperspace

Hi everyone,

really struggling to upload a 5 gig zipped file to my console on Paperspace.

I’m uploading first to my Google drive and following the instructions to bypass the Virus scan warning. I know my google link works because when i call it with Chrome i can download the file immediately without any messages.

But when i call the same link with wget, i get the following response in my console:
[3] 2337
[4] 2338
[1] Exit 127 https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download
[2] Done confirm=TfY6
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download

Any help appreciated. It works with Dropbox but i’m limited to 2gig and don’t feel like subscribing to get more space.

I tried to upload directly from my laptop using a local terminal session or the jupyter notebook interface but it is sooooooo slow, 300 kb/s, can’t work this way. I asked Paperspace tech support, they told me their servers are quite loaded these days. My upload through Dropbox was quite fast.

I have exactly this problem. I cannot get the database from this website: https://picnic.devpost.com
