Hi,
Tomasz you rock, I hope the dump works, the pages-meta-history.xml.bz2 file should be
about 344.3GB I think.
I have copies of some older english pages-meta-history.xml.7z files, I downloaded the 2006
one from
download.wikimedia.org in 2006, and the 2007 and 2008 from a mirror recently. If
these are not failed dumps they should be at the wikimedia foundation so I will send them
in the mail, either a 2.5" harddrive or DVD's.
20060816-pages-meta-history.xml.7z (5.08GB) 782GB uncompressed
20070402-pages-meta-history.xml.7z (11.3GB) 1.76TB uncompressed
20080103-pages-meta-history.xml.7z (17.2GB) 2.8TB uncompressed
cheers,
Jamie

The last successful was way before 2009 and sadly doesn't exist on the
wikimedia servers.
Trust me .. as soon as this runs is done were going to stamp it, copy
it, put it into a safe, and mirror it everywhere.
We're not going to let that file get away.

Do you mean that the failed runs aren't web
linked? If so then
I'd
rather not point people to corrupted files.
Hi Tomasz,
I
don't think there are any (failed or successful) weblinked
"pages-meta-history.xml.bz2" or "pages-meta-history.xml.7z" files
for
the enwiki on the wikimedia download server. I think there must be a
successful enwiki "pages-meta-history" from 2009 floating around
somewhere, I think that the last successful dump (guessing Sept 2009?)
should always be linked for download. If you have a copy of the latest
successful build of "pages-meta-history" (.bz2 or .7z) for enwiki I'd
appreciate it if you posted a link, thanks
cheers,
Jamie
