[BUG] Unable to access MIND dataset due to public access restriction on the storage account

[mmahdigh]

Hi,

I am trying to download the MIND Dataset, but the storage account does not allow public access and returns a 409 error.

I'll attach an example of the error message that occurs on all the download links:

$ curl https://mind201910small.blob.core.windows.net/release/MINDsmall_train.zip

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><Error><Code>PublicAccessNotPermitted</Code><Message>Public access is not permitted on this storage account.

Time:2024-07-26T06:36:31.8660488Z</Message></Error>%

Many thanks for considering my request!

The tests are failing for the same error: https://github.com/recommenders-team/recommenders/actions/runs/10103307587/job/27940996452

@Leavingseason I think the URL of MIND is broken, do you have a copy of the data?

[miguelgfierro]

We found the small version, the large still we don't have it. See #2145

[miguelgfierro]

Update, PR #2145 has the new URL of small and large versions. It should work. We are still reviewing some tests before we merge.

But if you are working with this, the datasets can be found in the new URLs in the PR.
