RuntimeError: 
        An attempt has been made to start a new process before the

        This probably means that you are not using fork to start your
        child processes and you have forgotten to use the proper idiom
        in the main module:
            if __name__ == '__main__':
                freeze_support()
                ...
        The "freeze_support()" line can be omitted if the program
        is not going to be frozen to produce an executable.

Le traceback identifie wfdb.io.dl_files et multiprocessing.Pool comme points d’entrée ; reproduisez le téléchargement avec Python 3.9.5 et examinez comment la fonction démarre les workers. La tâche est terminée lorsque le même appel à dl_files télécharge le fichier demandé sans l’erreur de démarrage de multiprocessing.
