Try changing your notebook runtime type to [Python 3 / GPU] by going to “Runtime” \> “Change runtime type”. Hope it helps!

Yeah. Colab is using it’s own space for downloading. After the completion, it will move those files into our GDrive.

How can I zip my files in colab? And is it possible to split a large file into small pieces? Thanks.
