I am happy to be here. However, I am finding it hard to downloadhttps://rfor.us/penguins I tried using both Chrome and Microsoft Edge to no avail. And I did not block any download purposely. How else can I achieve the download, or receive the file so I can progress please

Where can we find the solutions to check work? Thanks!
David Keyes Founder • March 21, 2024
I didn't record a solutions video for this lesson because it is doing the exact same thing as I demonstrate in the video. If you still need help, please let me know.

I can not download data from the given link. Whenever i goes to the link it says " Looks like you've followed a broken link or entered a URL that doesn't exist on this site". What should i do?
David Keyes Founder • May 30, 2024
Sorry about that! Please try again now (I fixed the link).
Sazid Khan • May 31, 2024

Successfully downloading penguins.csv: When I entered the URL into Safari, the penguins.csv file showed all the data in .csv format in the browser but did it not default to downloads. (Whereas the video shows in Chrome a file with a spreadsheet-like icon with a .csv extension in downloads).
I selected File-> Save As -> and Safari automatically kept the name "penguins.csv"; then I saved it to my project folder.

Thanks for the info!
Raouf Kilada • September 25, 2024
I saved the data after copying the URL. It was saved as an xls not as csv....Suggestions?
Gracielle Higino Coach • September 25, 2024
Hi Raouf! I can't reproduce your error, the file downloads as a *.csv here for me independent of the browser that I use. Can you give more details (maybe send a screenshot or the exact name of the file you're getting, including the extension)?
