I have been working on this script for a couple weeks now and I just finished, everything was working perfectly fine. I returned to the script and tried to run it but I ran into an error and have know idea what it means and how to solve it. There error occurs quite early in the script when I am downloading some csv files containing CoronaVirus data. I was using urllib.request to do this and I got an error

I am wondering why this is happening. Here is what I have:
import urllib.request
url = "https://raw.githubuserxxxent.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19/master/csse_covid_19_data/csse_covid_19_time_series/time_series_covid19_recovered_global.csv"
urllib.request.urlretrieve(url, filename="time_series_covid19_recoveredGlobal.csv")
url = "https://raw.githubuserxxxent.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19/master/csse_covid_19_data/csse_covid_19_time_series/time_series_covid19_confirmed_global.csv"
urllib.request.urlretrieve(url, filename="time_series_covid19_confirmed_global.csv")
url = "https://raw.githubuserxxxent.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19/master/csse_covid_19_data/csse_covid_19_time_series/time_series_covid19_deaths_global.csv"
urllib.request.urlretrieve(url, filename="time_series_covid19_deaths_global.csv")
Thank You!
Your URLs have typos:
Instead of the domains being githubuserxxxent.com, they should be githubusercontent.com.
Note that githubuserxxxent.com returns an Address not found error when trying to access it in the browser.
Maybe you did a find and replace in your code and that's why this happened.
Fixed code:
import urllib.request
url = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19/master/csse_covid_19_data/csse_covid_19_time_series/time_series_covid19_recovered_global.csv"
urllib.request.urlretrieve(url, filename="time_series_covid19_recoveredGlobal.csv")
url = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19/master/csse_covid_19_data/csse_covid_19_time_series/time_series_covid19_confirmed_global.csv"
urllib.request.urlretrieve(url, filename="time_series_covid19_confirmed_global.csv")
url = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19/master/csse_covid_19_data/csse_covid_19_time_series/time_series_covid19_deaths_global.csv"
