conll 2003 dataset source url is no longer valid
I came to open the same issue. Thanks for reporting !

I pushed a temporary fix on `master` that uses an URL from a previous commit to access the dataset for now, until we have a better solution I changed the URL again to use another host, the fix is available on `master` and we'll probably do a new release of `datasets` tomorrow.

In the meantime, feel free to do `load_dataset(..., revision="master")` to use the fixed script We just released a new version of `datasets` with a working URL. Feel free to update `datasets` and try again :) Hello! Unfortunately, this URL does not work for me. 
Could you please tell me how I can solve the problem?

I receive the same error when I run "itrain run_configs/conll2003.json" from https://github.com/adapter-hub/efficient-task-transfer

Thank you very much in advance!

 Can you try updating `datasets` and try again ?
```
pip install -U datasets
``` @lhoestq Thank you very much for your answer! 

It works this way, but for my research I need datasets==1.6.3 or closest to it because otherwise the other package would not work as it is built on this version.
Do you have any other suggestion? I would really appreciate it. Maybe which version of the datasets is without hard-coded link but closest to 1.6.3
 No problem, I have solved it. 
Thank you anyway. Out of curiosity, which package has the `datasets==1.6.3` requirement ?
## Describe the bug
Loading `conll2003` dataset fails because it was removed (just yesterday 1/14/2022) from the location it is looking for.

## Steps to reproduce the bug
```python
from datasets import load_dataset


load_dataset("conll2003")
```

## Expected results
The dataset should load.

## Actual results
It is looking for the dataset at `https://github.com/davidsbatista/NER-datasets/raw/master/CONLL2003/train.txt` but it was removed from there yesterday (see [commit](https://github.com/davidsbatista/NER-datasets/commit/9d8f45cc7331569af8eb3422bbe1c97cbebd5690) that removed the file and related [issue](https://github.com/davidsbatista/NER-datasets/issues/8)). 

- We should replace this with an alternate valid location.
- this is being referenced in the huggingface course chapter 7 [colab notebook](https://colab.research.google.com/github/huggingface/notebooks/blob/master/course/chapter7/section2_pt.ipynb), which is also broken.
