[Qgis-community-team] Issue with Training Data zip file

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Matt,

I'm not sure, but just wondering if you use 7-zip to extract the files 
(https://www.7-zip.org/) ?  Give that a try, and if it doesn't work for 
the zip you are trying, then we know that the zip archive has problems.

Cheers from the east coast of Canada,
