Querying the stack exchange data explorer

For my research, I need to access dataset of stack overflow. I tried to access data from stack exchange data explorer but I am getting following error:Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding for the query https://data.stackexchange.com/stackoverflow/query/6627/top-50-most-prolific-editors.

My guess is that the query takes too long and takes too many resources to solve. The query was made in jul 2010, back then the dataset was only a fraction of what it is today, which might have made it possible to be performed. Nowadays the dataset is too large for it.

You could consider downloading the most recent dataset and perform the query on your own server.
