I think you may be looking in the wrong place; the dumps moved sometime in the past few months. dewiki dumps from March are linked from: http://download.wikimedia.org/dewiki/20060320/
You can check http://download.wikimedia.org for periodic updates.
Thank you for the kind hint. I'm new here but I assume you all are aware what this means to us when we have to read in the dump instead of having a programmatic access to dewiki? It means installing a rather non-repeatable process (unstable pathnames, mediawiki versions etc.) which has a processing time of more than 30 hours once it gets running...

The compression really isn't a problem, if the text access is ever restored I will help you write code to read the compressed data... it is easy.
Who is responsible for restoring text access? When is it estimated to achieve this?
