[Bug]504 Server Error when loading dataset which was already cached
State: open

### Describe the bug

I have already cached the dataset using:
```
dataset = load_dataset("databricks/databricks-dolly-15k",
                        cache_dir="/mnt/data/llm/datasets/databricks-dolly-15k")
```
After that, I tried to load it again using the same machine, I got this error:
```
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/mnt/home/llm/pythia/train.py", line 16, in <module>
    dataset = load_dataset("databricks/databricks-dolly-15k",

    return fn(*args, **kwargs)

huggingface_hub.utils._errors.HfHubHTTPError: 504 Server Error: Gateway Time-out for url: https://huggingface.co/api/datasets/databricks/databricks-dolly-15k
```

### Steps to reproduce the bug

1. cache the databrick-dolly-15k dataset using load_dataset, setting a cache_dir
2. use load_dataset again, setting the same cache_dir

### Expected behavior

Dataset loaded succuessfully.

### Environment info

- `datasets` version: 2.12.0
- Platform: Linux-4.18.0-372.16.1.el8_6.x86_64-x86_64-with-glibc2.27
- Python version: 3.9.16
- Huggingface_hub version: 0.14.1
- PyArrow version: 11.0.0
- Pandas version: 1.5.3

Comments:
I am experiencing the same problem with the following environment:

* `datasets` version: 2.11.0
* Platform: `Linux 5.19.0-41-generic x86_64 GNU/Linux`
* Python version: `3.8.5`
* Huggingface_hub version: 0.13.3
* PyArrow version: `11.0.0`
* Pandas version: `1.5.3`

Trying to get some diagnostics, I got the following:  

```python
>>> from huggingface_hub import scan_cache_dir
>>> sd = scan_cache_dir()
>>> sd
HFCacheInfo(size_on_disk=0, repos=frozenset(), warnings=[CorruptedCacheException('Repo path is not a directory: /home/myname/.cache/huggingface/hub/version_diffusers_cache.txt')])

```
However, that might also be because I had tried to manually specify the `cache_dir` and that resulted in trying to download the dataset again ... but into a folder one level higher up than it should have.

Note that my issue is with the `huggan/wikiart` dataset, so it is not a dataset-specific issue.

same problem with a private dataset repo, seems the huggingface hub server got some connection problem?

Yes, dataset server seems down for now

@SingL3 You can avoid this error by setting the [`HF_DATASETS_OFFLINE`](https://huggingface.co/docs/datasets/v2.12.0/en/loading#offline) env variable to 1. By default,  if an internet connection is available, we check whether the cache of a cached dataset is up-to-date.

@lucidBrot `datasets`' cache is still not aligned with `huggigface_hub`'s. We plan to align it eventually.

Today we had a big issue affecting the Hugging Face Hub, thus all the `504 Server Error: Gateway Time-out` errors.

It is fixed now and loading your datasets should work as expected.

Hi, @albertvillanova.
If there is a locally cached version of datasets or something cache using huggingface_hub, when a network problem(either client or server) occurs, is it a better way to fallback to use the current cached version rather than raise a exception and exit?
