Hi Nuria et al.,
I’m glad to hear that our downloads did not have anything to do with the site going down.
Now that things are back up and running, it looks like everything is working again on our
end.
Thank you for the help!

It is back up and was announced so via email to the various lists. I'm sorry I
didn't think to add analytics on those, I did spam several lists already. As the
initial mail said, you can pick up anything a day or more old from one of our mirrors, or
from
ms1001.wikimedia.org <http://ms1001.wikimedia.org/> during outages like this.

Just FYI, Ariel is probably not going to see this until the morning. But I can confirm
that if there was maintenance being done, the server seems to not have come back up
correctly.

Hi,
I noticed the maintenance email was announced at
https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/xmldatadumps-l/2016-March/001262.html
<https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/xmldatadumps-l/2016-March/001262.html>
but it'd be helpful to CC this list as well.

I believe the dumps server was undergoing
maintenance today. Last email I
saw was it was up and running again.
Ariel -- maybe cc this list (analytics-l) when you are announcing a
maintenance window?
thanks,

Dear Nuria Ruiz,
My name is Gonzalo Diaz, and I am a PhD student of Computer Science at
the University of Oxford. You can see my profile here:

I am writing because I am currently working on a research project which
would benefit from processing Wikipedia pagecount files.
On Monday, 29 February 2016, we began downloading pagecount files from
http://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/pagecounts-raw/
<http://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/pagecounts-raw/>. For the next 48 hours we
managed to download ~15 months of raw pagecount files, using 3 different
computers, and 3 instances of "wget" on each computer (for a total of 9
concurrent downloads at any given moment).
Since this morning, however, we are no longer able to download the
pagecount files. Furthermore, the site
dumps.wikimedia.org
<http://dumps.wikimedia.org/> seems down.
Hopefully, our downloads are not responsible for this. If they are,
however, we would like to apologise for the inconvenience.
In any case, we would like to request permission to continue downloading
the raw pagecount files, as soon as the site is back online.
I thank you very much for your time!
Kindest regards,
Gonzalo Diaz
John Mittermeier
