### Description

Status code:   400
Exception:     ValueError
Message:       Cannot seek streaming HTTP file

I am able to use the dataset loading script locally and it also runs when I'm using the one from the hub, but the viewer still doesn't load

### Owner

Yes

Comments: It seems like the list of splits could not be obtained:

```python
>>> from datasets import get_dataset_split_names
>>> get_dataset_split_names("shamikbose89/lancaster_newsbooks", "default")
Using custom data configuration default

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Oh, I removed the 'split' key from `kwargs`. I put  it back in, but there's still the same error

It looks like the data host doesn't support http range requests, which is necessary to glob inside a ZIP archive in streaming mode. Can you try hosting the dataset elsewhere ? Or download each file separately from https://ota.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/repository/xmlui/handle/20.500.12024/2531 ?

@lhoestq Thanks! That seems to have solved it. I can get the splits with the `get_dataset_split_names()` function. The dataset viewer is still not loading properly, though. The new error is
```
Status code:   400
Exception:     BadZipFile
Message:       File is not a zip file
```

PS. The dataset loads properly and can be accessed
