Scott,
Nemo is referring to the dumpgenerator.py being broken on MediaWiki versions above 1.20, and it should not actually affect older MediaWiki versions.
You can safely continue with your grab. :)

Fixed by emijrp in r806 <https://code.google.com/p/wikiteam/source/detail?r=806>. :-) *Status:* FixedSo does that mean this problem that "It's completely broken" is now fixed? I'm running a huge download of 64K+ page titles, and am now using the "r806" version of dumpgenerator.py. The first 35K+ page titles were downloaded with an older version). Both versions sure seem to be downloading MORE than 500 pages per namespace, but I'm not sure, since I don't know how you can tell if you are getting them all...
So is it fixed or not?
