We now have three mirror sites, yay! The full list is linked to from
http://dumps.wikimedia.org/ and is also available at
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mirroring_Wikimedia_project_XML_dumps#Curren…
Summarizing, we have:
C3L (Brazil) with the last 5 good known dumps,
Masaryk University (Czech Republic) with the last 5 known good dumps,
Your.org (USA) with the complete archive of dumps, and
for the latest version of uploaded media,
Your.org with http/ftp/rsync
access.
Thanks to Carlos, Kevin and Yenya respectively at the above sites for
volunteering space, time and effort to make this happen.
As people noticed earlier, a series of media tarballs per-project
(excluding commons) is being generated. As soon as the first run of
these is complete we'll announce its location and start generating them
on a semi-regular basis.
As we've been getting the bugs out of the mirroring setup, it is getting
easier to add new locations. Know anyone interested? Please let us
know; we would love to have them.
