Cannot load TREC dataset: ConnectionError
Hi ! Indeed there's an issue with those links.
We should probably use the target urls of the redirections instead Hi, the same issue here, could you tell me how to download it through datasets? thanks  Same issue.  Actually it's already fixed on the master branch since #740 
I'll do the 1.1.3 release soon Hi
thanks, but I did tried to install from the pip install git+... and it does
not work for me,. thanks for the help. I have the same issue with wmt16,
"ro-en"
thanks.
Best

 I just tested on google colab using
```python
!pip install git+https://github.com/huggingface/datasets.git
from datasets import load_dataset
load_dataset("trec")
```
and it works.
Can you detail how you got the issue even when using the latest version on master ?

Also about wmt we'll look into it, thanks for reporting ! I think the new url with .edu is also broken:
```
ConnectionError: Couldn't reach https://cogcomp.seas.upenn.edu/Data/QA/QC/train_5500.label
```
Cant download the dataset anymore. Hi ! The URL seems to work fine on my side, can you try again ? Forgot to update, i wrote an email to the webmaster of seas.upenn.edu because i couldnt reach the url on any machine. This was the answer:
```
Thank you for your report. The server was offline for maintenance and is now available again.
```
Guess all back to normal now 🙂 
## Problem
I cannot load "trec" dataset, it results with ConnectionError as shown below. I've tried on both Google Colab and locally. 
* `requests.head('http://cogcomp.org/Data/QA/QC/train_5500.label')` returns <Response [302]>. 
* `requests.head('http://cogcomp.org/Data/QA/QC/train_5500.label', allow_redirects=True)` raises `requests.exceptions.TooManyRedirects: Exceeded 30 redirects.`
* Opening `http://cogcomp.org/Data/QA/QC/train_5500.label' in a browser works, but opens a different address
* Increasing max_redirects to 100 doesn't help

Also, while debugging I've seen that requesting 'https://storage.googleapis.com/huggingface-nlp/cache/datasets/trec/default/1.1.0/dataset_info.json' returns <Response [404]> before, but it doesn't raise any errors. Not sure if that's relevant.

* datasets.__version__ == '1.1.2'
* requests.__version__ == '2.24.0'

I would appreciate some suggestions here.
