'Disco Diffusion: PytorchStreamReader failed reading zip archive: failed finding central directory

I'm trying to run Disco Diffusion v5 with basically default settings and getting this error when I try to create the image. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Starting Run: Horse 02(0) at frame 0

Prepping model...

RuntimeError: PytorchStreamReader failed reading zip archive: failed finding central directory


Solution 1:[1]

My way to solve this problem is to delete folder 'AI' in google Drive and run it all again. I guess the problem may be caused by an incomplete pre-traning model that was not downloaded correctly by the first run, which prevents the correct version of the model from being downloaded.

Solution 2:[2]

Same issue here. I've used three different versions of the model with stock variables and just a text/prompt change.

Still fails on RuntimeError: PytorchStreamReader failed reading zip archive: failed finding central directory

My system hasn't changed but the model has stopped running over last two days. Even upgraded Google Colab to Colab+ but no joy.
