Hi, in the past I was able to download only the administrative boundary relations/ways of a country/large area by using JOSM and add this Overpass request:

[timeout:180];
(
way["boundary"="administrative"];
node(w);
rel(bn)->.x;
way(bn);
rel(bw);
);
out meta;

but now it seems the server is always failing contacting the server and it ends up failing. Can anybody help me?

Your code doesn't work for me either, but... For Denmark (the country north of Germany) the solution is now as simple as entering "boundary=administrative & type:relation in Danmark" in the first field in JOSM's "Download from Overpass API" view, click the "create query" button and then finally the "Download" button.
