It seems that archives are occasionally moved within the folder structure, so some of the links in the dlinks.txt will point to the wrong location for the archive. As a simple workaround, I'm using an API which returns the current location of the archive based on the PMCID to determine the correct location if a download fails.
In the future we could add a script to fix the links in the dlinks.txt files directly if the number of dead links gets too high (I'm not sure how frequently archives are moved).
