In fact, I'm downloading now

All the links of Wikipedia are forbidden either in my laptop or in my pc
(linked internet connection).
I stopped the downlod and the links are accessible.
As I recall,
dumps.wikimedia.org has a relatively low concurrency
limit. Something like 2 or 4 simultaneous downloads. After that, all
further connections give a 403 error until earlier connections finish.
If you are downloading a number of dump files, it is pretty easy to
try to open more downloads at the same time than the limit will allow.
I suspect that is what happened here.
