_pickle.UnpicklingError: invalid load key, '\x00'

I am trying to run code from chapter 11 and seem to be getting this error: _pickle.UnpicklingError: invalid load key, '\x00'

UnpicklingError: Caught UnpicklingError in DataLoader worker process 0.

Is there a way to better debug the core issue perhaps by utilizing the logs? I believe I have downloaded the whole LUNA dataset and extracted all the files in the proper folder. I was able to run chapter 10 code but for some reason am getting this error in chapter 11.

When I run from the Jupyter Notebook I get:

Looks like the issue had to do with downloading the data. I had initially downloaded the files through Zenodo, but had some errors when extracting subset1 and subset9. I didn't think much of it at the time but then I ran into this error with pickle. I then downloaded subset1 and subset9 through the academic torrent, extracted, and ran this script. Seems to run fine now.
