today we did database dumps, but here we try to offload our file server albert as much as possible, therefore I started some experimental dumps service.
http://dumps.wikimedia.org/ has the newest dumps now. As soon as we make the view more friendly and functional, it might be the one replacing http://download.wiki...
I took a brief look at the cur en.wikipedia dump, and it would appear that it's uncompressed, unlike the old versions which were bzip2 compressed. As the latter format seems to be around 70% of the size of the uncompressed, shouldn't the new download page offer compressed versions? Or do you plan to use rsync as the preferred download strategy?
