I failed several times and ended up downloading exactly the same number of bytes: 1,465,454KB (1.46GB), even for different versions of that file.
Is it possible that the files themselves are corrupted? Anyone successfully downloaded one of these big files recently?
Just to confirm that this works fine, I started up an EC2 instance and successfully downloaded this file:
http://download.wikimedia.org/enwiki/latest/enwiki-latest-pages-articles.xml...
I ended up with 5.4 GB of data, and an MD5 checksum of 802c79045801bfb5f77fab3170af8efc. Just to be sure the file was uncorrupted, I ran it through bzcat and got a checksum of 5dd71caf9ed0b3387b351783325b788a.
