#!/bin/bash
mkdir -p /tmp/kaggle-sample /workspace/sample
SLUG=<competition-slug>
for f in <filename>.csv <filename>.csv <filename>.csv; do
  kaggle competitions download "$SLUG" -f "$f" -p /tmp/kaggle-sample -o
done
cp -f /tmp/kaggle-sample/*.csv /workspace/sample/

if the download hangs on IPv6 you can add at the top
