The zip file for Exercise 2.1 has multiple nested folders to unzip - on windows, this means the unzipped file path is longer than windows can handle and it gives an error.

Module_2_Exercise_1_Geodata_concept.zip
    -- Module_2_Exercise_1_Geodata_concept
         -- Module_2_Exercise_1_Geodata_concept
              -- data
              -- documentation, etc.

It would be better if the zip file just had the subfolders (data, documentation, project, results) to keep the total file path short enough to extract.

also the sierra leone borders are lines and not polygons. The final result picutre shows them as being polygons. @Alec-SE Wouldn't it make more sense to work with polygon data and maybe add another line layer with the roads?

thanks @enauj . flagging the same issue for the Module 4 Exercise 2 download, the extracted folders are nested 3 folders in. Haven't checked other files.
