Hanging downloads is an issue we’re aware of, and we’re working on a fix. In the meantime, can you try scrolling to the end of that notebook and using the [api.brain-map.org](http://api.brain-map.org) links to download the NWB files through your browser? That seems to work more reliably than requesting them through the SDK (at least for now).
