Description
### Describe the bug
Datasets (such as https://huggingface.co/datasets/MLCommons/peoples_speech) cannot be used on Windows due to the fact that windows does not allow colons ":" in filenames. These should be converted into alternative strings.
### Steps to reproduce the bug
1. Attempt to run load_dataset on MLCommons/peoples_speech
### Expected behavior
Does not crash during extraction
### Environment info
Windows 11, NTFS filesystem, Python 3.12
