I'm opening a PR to update the url
**Datasets Version:**
1.1.2

**Python Version:**
3.6/3.7


**Code:**
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
load_dataset("trec")
```

**Expected behavior:**
Download Trec dataset and load Dataset object

**Current Behavior:**
Get a connection error saying it couldn't reach http://cogcomp.org/Data/QA/QC/train_5500.label (but the link doesn't seem broken)
