I am trying to download a dataset of image for further usage  
but i only got some .arrow files after download by using load\_dataset

and i searched for some solution that said use load\_from\_disk(path\_to\_the.arrow directory or pyarrow.ipc.RecordBatchStreamReader

neither of them are working

Can someone help?

this is the dataset i want to download

The datasets library is good for using and organizing datasets from the model, but snapshot\_download is better for just downloading.
