Problems with downloading The Pile
State: closed | Author: sentialx (NONE)

### Describe the bug

The downloads in the screenshot seem to be interrupted after some time and the last download throws a "Read timed out" error.

Here are the downloaded files:

They should be all 14GB like here (https://the-eye.eu/public/AI/pile/train/).

Alternatively, can I somehow download the files by myself and use the datasets preparing script?

### Steps to reproduce the bug

dataset = load_dataset('the_pile', split='train', cache_dir='F:\datasets')

### Expected behavior

The files should be downloaded correctly.

### Environment info

- `datasets` version: 2.10.1
- Platform: Windows-10-10.0.22623-SP0
- Python version: 3.10.5
- PyArrow version: 9.0.0
- Pandas version: 1.4.2

Comments: Hi! 


You can specify `download_config=DownloadConfig(resume_download=True))` in `load_dataset` to resume the download when re-running the code after the timeout error:
```python
from datasets import load_dataset, DownloadConfig
dataset = load_dataset('the_pile', split='train', cache_dir='F:\datasets', download_config=DownloadConfig(resume_download=True))
```



@mariosasko , I used your suggestion but its not saving anything , just stops and runs from the same point .
below is the script to download and save on disk .

```
from datasets import load_dataset, DownloadConfig


#load the Pile dataset from Hugging Face Datasets
#dataset = load_dataset('the_pile')
dataset = load_dataset('the_pile', split='train', cache_dir='datasets', download_config=DownloadConfig(resume_download=True))


# save each file in the dataset to disk
for i, example in enumerate(dataset['train']):
    filename = f'pile_file_{i}.json'
    with open(filename, 'w') as f:
        f.write(str(example))

print("Finished saving Pile dataset files to disk.")
```


@mariosasko , it shows nothing in dataset folder

```
 du -sh /mnt/nlp/hugging_face/*
20K     /mnt/nlp/hugging_face/datasets
4.0K    /mnt/nlp/hugging_face/download_pile.py
```

Users with slow internet speed are doomed (4MB/s). The dataset downloads fine at minimum speed 10MB/s.

Also, when the train splits were generated and then I removed the downloads folder to save up disk space, it started redownloading the whole dataset. Is there any way to use the already generated splits instead?

@sentialx @mariosasko , anytime on my above script , am I downloading and saving dataset correctly . Please suggest :)

@sentialx probably worth noting that `resume_download=True` doesn't directly save the dataset to disk, but instead just helps in resuming the dataset resume on interruption as @mariosasko mentions. resolving resumptions after a crash is [an open issue](https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/issues/5380) at the moment.
