Download link broken in tutorial "Realtime Event Processing in Hadoop with Storm and Kafka"

[#1]

Hello,

I'm following this tutorial: http://hortonworks.com/hadoop-tutorial/simulating-transporting-realtime-events-stream-apache-kafka/#...

Everything works fine before "Step 5: Download the Data"; In this step, need download a zip package from dropbox, but I found that link doesn't work now:

wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/rv43a05czfaqjlj/Tutorials-master-2.3.zip

--2016-02-17 00:37:50-- https://www.dropbox.com/s/rv43a05czfaqjlj/Tutorials-master-2.3.zip

In the article's comments part, I see someother user also have the problem. Now I'm blocked here; Could someone check and update the link? Thanks!

Something wrong with your network side.

I can successfully run wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/rv43a05czfaqjlj/Tutorials-master-2.3.zip on my centos box.

Could you please try again?

Also you can try using http instead of https like below:

[centos@cdh-master1 ~]$ wget http://www.dropbox.com/s/rv43a05czfaqjlj/Tutorials-master-2.3.zip

[centos@cdh-master1 ~]$ wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/rv43a05czfaqjlj/Tutorials                                                                                        -master-2.3.zip

@Shaofeng Shi

Are you on vpn? I think your laptop is blocking it because of vpn or antivirus

Dropbox seems be blocked by our corp (security reason). Anyway, that is my issue, I will try to download that from home; Thanks for the reply!
