Issue on page /basics/download_nwb.html

The notebook mentions that "If you want to just download all the files within a directory of the dandiset, you can set the first argument of download_directory below to a more specific path within the dandiset." It would be useful to provide an example. This doesn't work (but does not return an error):

my_ds = client.get_dandiset(dandiset_id)
for asset_dir in my_ds.get_assets():
    print(f"Downloading {asset_dir.path}")
    try:
        my_ds.download_directory(asset_dir.path, f"{download_loc}/{dandiset_id}")
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Error downloading {asset_dir.path}: {e}")

I also tried with os.path.join("./", asset_dir.path).

The more standard approach works, however:

for asset_dir in my_ds.get_assets():
    filename = asset_dir.path.split("/")[-1]
    filepath = f"{download_loc}/{asset_dir.path}"
    if not os.path.exists(os.path.dirname(filepath)):
        os.makedirs(os.path.dirname(filepath), exist_ok=True)
    file = my_ds.get_asset_by_path(asset_dir.path)
    try:    
    print(f"Downloading {asset_dir.path}")
        file.download(filepath)
        print(f"Downloaded file to {filepath}")
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Error downloading {asset_dir.path}: {e}")
