Error when downloading a large dataset on slow connection.

State: open

I receive the following error after about an hour trying to download the `openwebtext` dataset.

The code used is:
```python
import datasets
datasets.load_dataset("openwebtext")
```

Comments: Hi ! Is this an issue you have with `openwebtext` specifically or also with other datasets ?

It looks like the downloaded file is corrupted and can't be extracted using `tarfile`.
Could you try loading it again with 
```python
import datasets
datasets.load_dataset("openwebtext", download_mode="force_redownload")
```
