Someone discovered and reported various broken links.
An example is
# BidiMirroring-13.0.0.txt
# Date: 2019-09-09, 19:34:00 GMT [KW, LI, RP]
# © 2019 Unicode®, Inc.
# For terms of use, see http://www.unicode.org/terms_of_use.html
On line number 43, there is a link to
http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr9/
Following that link leads to a 404.
A link that works is http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr9/
Presumably the link in the file used to work. One of the first rules of
web design is to never ever break a published link. It's fine to
reorganize your site; just be sure that the original links are available
as synonyms to the modern version.
In this case, the current UCD contains broken links.
