Thanks, Paolo.<br><br>I hadn't added <a href="http://archive.org">archive.org</a> because it requires us to upload the files, and the files cannot be deleted in the future, so, upload the latest dumps (updated every month or so) could be a waste of resources for them. I was thinking about mirrors who runs wget to slurp all the files from <a href="http://download.wikimedia.org">download.wikimedia.org</a>, and the next month delete the previous ones.<br>
<br>Of course, we can contact to <a href="http://archive.org">archive.org</a> to ask them about the wget idea.<br><br>Regards,<br>emijrp<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2010/11/16 paolo massa <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:paolo@gnuband.org">paolo@gnuband.org</a>></span><br>
