Hello !
If it can save time to somebody, I wrote that simple python script a few months ago : http://pastebin.com/fa3658d9
Initially, that snippet was using some GTK code, to prompt alerts on my laptop when a new dump was available, but... it got boring, particularly because it was, oh noes, prompting GTK alerts on every error -- and yes, not having a connection would prompt network errors. Stupid code kid :)

Hello!
At the moment I and some other users of the dumps show every day/week/month at http://dumps.wikimedia.org/ for a new dump. I use the dump of 10 different languages for my projects (Wikipedia-World, Template-Tiger, Persondata), so it is really work.
I hope someone at this list can program a simple to use "Dump-Mail-Service". Maybe you have time, please do it! :-)
I want a mail
- for a list of language ( for example: de, en, fr and es)
- if the new dump is complete (all files)
- or if the file "pages-articles.xml.bz2" is complete
Thanks for your help!
