As I recall, dumps.wikimedia.org has a relatively low concurrency
limit.  Something like 2 or 4 simultaneous downloads.  After that, all
further connections give a 403 error until earlier connections finish.
 If you are downloading a number of dump files, it is pretty easy to
try to open more downloads at the same time than the limit will allow.

I suspect that is what happened here.
