@Brion: Why does http://download.wikimedia.org/enwiki/20070716/enwiki-20070716-pages-meta-his... 404? It downloaded fine some weeks ago. There's no new superseeding version.
It is for precisely this reason, I wrote a perl script that handles this for me by querying the rss feed for each language and project, extracts the target link referenced in it, and fetches THAT link instead.
There was a time a month or two ago, when quite a few of the linked dumps were pointing to non-existant content.. Brion and others fixed those in short order though.
