Hi;<br><br>Yesterday (2010-03-26), the 7z dump for English Wikipedia was completed.[1] I am downloading it at /mnt/user-store/dump directory, it will be finished in a few hours (about 4), it is about 30 GB. So, if you need it, you know where is, don&#39;t download it again! ; ).<br>

<br>A tip: in my python scripts, I decompress it on the fly, like this:<br><br><div style="margin-left: 40px;">7za e -so ourdump.xml.7z | python ourscript.py <br></div><br>And, inside the script, I capture the data with: source=sys.stdin<br>

<br>Regards<br><br>[1] <a href="http://download.wikimedia.org/enwiki/latest/enwiki-latest-pages-meta-history.xml.7z">http://download.wikimedia.org/enwiki/latest/enwiki-latest-pages-meta-history.xml.7z</a><br>
