load_dataset('cnn_dalymail', '3.0.0') gives a 'Not a directory' error
I get the same error. It was fixed some days ago, but again it appears Hi @mrm8488 it's working again today without any fix so I am closing this issue. I see the issue happening again today -

Can someone please take a look ? Sometimes happens. Try in a while It is working now, thank you.  Has anyone solved this ? I still get this error  > atal("Unsupported publisher: %s", publisher) --> 134 files = sorted(os.listdir(top_dir)) 135 136 ret_files = []

2 short-term workarounds:

1.  Use this line instead `dataset = load_dataset('ccdv/cnn_dailymail', '3.0.0')`. [In a related issue](https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/issues/996#issuecomment-997343101), this person mentioned another data source copy that just works.
2.  Use the same data source, but edit the urls.  Instead of google drive quota problems mentioned in #996, I was getting the "can't scan this file for viruses" problem, which results in that prompted html getting downloaded instead of the files.  You can get around this by:
    1. Look at the traceback and find out where `cnn_dailymail.py` is on your computer.
    2. Edit the `cnn_stories` and `dm_stories` url's by adding the following to the end of them `&confirm=t`.  This should be around line 67.
    3. You may have to remove those confirmation html files in your download directory (`~/.cache/huggingface/datasets/downloads` for me) so that they don't get in the way of the new download attempts.

Either method works for me.  I would've made a PR, but not sure if they want to go with the new ccdv/cnn_dailymail source or not. experience the same problem, ccdv/cnn_dailymail not working either. 

Solve this problem by installing datasets library from the master branch:
python -m pip install git+https://github.com/huggingface/datasets.git@master Seem to be getting this again even with 1.18.4. I believe it worked yesterday. Hitting this one as well. >Hitting this one as well.

Has anyone solved this ? I still get this error @yoheimiyamoto The solution provided by @davidshinn  (i.e. `dataset = load_dataset('ccdv/cnn_dailymail', '3.0.0')`) worked for me.
```
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset('cnn_dailymail', '3.0.0')
```
