The readme says:
For downloading a local copy of remote files, see Code.updates_and_checks.remote_scores and the argument convert_and_write_local.
However, there is no function called remote_scores in Code/updates_and_checks.py. There is such a function in Code/collect_convert.py but it appears to be a different function and doesn't have a convert_and_write_local argument. There is a convert_and_write_local function in this second file as well, but there doesn't seem to be an argument by this name anywhere in the code base.
