What wiki are you using? It seems to be overloaded.

You can try to minimize the load caused by mwlib by using the option -- 
no-threads (or a lower number for --num-threads) for mw-zip and mw- 
render. But be prepared that the ZIP file generation will take more  
time in this case.

Note, that we're already trying to fetch some resources three times in  
a row because we don't want to give up too early because of failing  
HTTP requests.

One could argue that the program should return with an error in these  
cases, but sometimes we are in a situation (e.g. with broken links in  
articles) that *some* resources can't be fetched, but the majority of  
resouces can, so we do want to produce a ZIP file. In your case, where  
essentially nothing could be fetched, this will result in an (almost)  
empty ZIP file.

P.S.: If this happended to you, while you tried fetching articles from  
the Wikipedia in the near past, see Brion Vibber's blog post
