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
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
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,
