Issue downloading NCHS database (nchsdb)

Hello,

I'm running the script to download this dataset and encountering a persistent error with the file DIAGNOSIS.csv. While running the download program, it prints:

failed DIAGNOSIS.csv
       File checksum mismatch, expected: e6f39a2ba976b297a92411e8bffc39b2
                                 actual: cebafa1acbab1005fb41a8b92557ffae

Is this to be expected and can be ignored?

Thanks!

Thanks for using the site. Probably can be ignored. I did one small thing - what happens if you try downloading the "health_data" folder anew? I didn't receive the checksum mismatch when I did that just now.

Thanks! I'll try to erase and re-download that folder. Best, A
