Hey @AlexLewandowski, thanks for reporting the bug. Would you like to make a PR for the same?
The simplest fix would be to update the link. I found a link hosting a mirror to the matlab format of the dataset: https://research-data.westernsydney.edu.au/published/2df91130519411ecb15399911543e199/
The hash is different, but replacing the hash and the url fixes this issue.
Is this a long-term solution? It is possible that this link can also die in the future.
The dataset used for downloading EMNIST is no longer working. The url for the download is currently: https://biometrics.nist.gov/EMNIST/matlab.zip
However, that url now redirects to https://www.nist.gov/programs-projects/biometrics
A fix would require changing the url to a mirror (which I cannot find) or using the "Binary format as the original MNIST dataset" at the bottom of this page: https://www.nist.gov/itl/products-and-services/emnist-dataset
