Download the grid corpus dataset and extract it.

gridcorpus.sh

#preparing for download 
mkdir "gridcorpus"
cd "gridcorpus"
mkdir "raw" "audio" "video"
cd "raw" && mkdir "audio" "video"

for i in `seq $1 $2`
do
    printf "\n\n------------------------- Downloading $i th speaker -------------------------\n\n"
    
    #download the audio of the ith speaker
    cd "audio" && curl "http://spandh.dcs.shef.ac.uk/gridcorpus/s$i/audio/s$i.tar" > "s$i.tar" && cd ..
    cd "video" && curl "http://spandh.dcs.shef.ac.uk/gridcorpus/s$i/video/s$i.mpg_vcd.zip" > "s$i.zip" && cd ..

    if (( $3 == "y" ))
    then
        unzip -q "video/s$i.zip" -d "../video"
        tar -xf "audio/s$i.tar" -C "../audio"
    fi

Hi @KarthikMAM, Thanks a lot for providing such an easy way to download this dataset;
however, it did not worked for me so I changed the for loop format. Now it works like a charm 👍
for ((i=1; i<=2; i++)); do printf "\n\n------------------------- Downloading $i th speaker -------------------------\n\n"

line 15: ((: == y: syntax error: operand expected (error token is "== y").
How to fix this error?
