Could you please rephrase it so that it is easier to read?

Something like this:

Data (files) used in this lesson are from the Portal Project Teaching Database available on Figshare. Specifically, we use the following eight data files:

  • file one
  • file two
  • file three
    ...
    Please download them (by clicking on the corresponding links) and move them to the same directory.

I agree that its a little difficult to read, but aimed at being correct and inline with our discussion:

"Also, on the setup page we should change the wording to emphasize the fact that these three files are not in the zip archive nor can they be found on Figshare..."

I can rephrase, but should the change still highlight the fact that

  1. some files are not from Portal Project Teaching Database, and
  2. should it still link to the zip file?

Feel free to use my suggestion as a base and expand it.
We can provide a zip file ourselves instead of relying on ever-changing files. In this case, we can say that our files are from [location] retrieved on [date].

A gentle ping, @jensentobias. Just curious if you had plans to continue working on this PR or if my last comment was a tad unclear.
