I think it won't be possible to add this dataset to 🤗 datasets. Hi @dnaveenr ! We can contact the authors to see if they are interested in hosting the dataset on the Hub. In the meantime, feel free to work on a script with manual download. Hi @mariosasko . Thanks for your response. Sure, I will mail them and find out if they're open to this.

Work on a script with manual download ? This is new to me, any guidelines would be helpful here.

It's best to leave this part to us because we have to explain how login would work and (potentially) set up a custom verification for the dataset.

For instance, this is one of the scripts with manual download: https://huggingface.co/datasets/arxiv_dataset. Compared to the standard dataset, it has the `manual_download_instructions` attribute and uses `dl_manager.manual_dir` (derived from `load_dataset(..., data_dir="path/to/data")`) to access the dataset's data files. > It's best to leave this part to us because we have to explain how login would work and (potentially) set up a custom verification for the dataset.

Yes. That would be perfect. Thanks.

Okay. Thanks for giving a reference. This is helpful. I will go through it.
