Timit_asr dataset cannot be previewed recently
Thanks for reporting. The bug has already been detected, and we hope to fix it soon. TIMIT is now a dataset that requires manual download, see #4145 

Therefore it might take a bit more time to fix it > TIMIT is now a dataset that requires manual download, see #4145

Thank you for your quickly response. Exactly, I also found the manual download issue in the morning. But when I used *list_datasets()* to check the available datasets, *'timit_asr'* is still in the list. So I am a little bit confused. If *'timit_asr'* need to be manually downloaded, does that mean we can **not** automatically download it **any more** in the future? Yes exactly. If you try to load the dataset it will ask you to download it manually first, and to pass the downloaded and extracted data like `load_dataset("timir_asr", data_dir="path/to/extracted/data")`

The URL we were using was coming from a host that doesn't have the permission to redistribute the data, and the dataset owners (LDC) notified us about it. I downloaded the timit_asr data and unzipped. But I can't run my code. Could you resolve this problem for me? Thanks
