Description

When I try to download the English Wikipedia dataset using:

python -m tensorflow_datasets.scripts.download_and_prepare --datasets=wikipedia/20200301.en

I get the error:

tensorflow_datasets.core.download.downloader.DownloadError: 
Failed to get url https://dumps.wikimedia.your.org/enwiki/20200301/dumpstatus.json. HTTP code: 404.

I would like to download it locally (not on GCS).

Environment information
Operating System: Windows 10
Python version: 3.8.3
tensorflow-datasets: 3.2.1
tensorflow version: 2.3.1

Research direction

Start by rerunning the provided download_and_prepare command and checking the failing Wikimedia dumpstatus.json URL and its 404 response. Trace how the Wikipedia dataset download resolves that URL for local downloads; done means the English 20200301 dataset can be downloaded locally without the reported DownloadError.
