Haven't yet worked out exactly where backups are going to be coming
from. The backup I made while transferring is currently in the usual
locations, but in gzip instead of bzip2 compression (since that was
faster).
download.wikipedia.org main page doesn't reflect this just
yet; go in manually if you _really_ want it now.
As an experiment, an xdelta diff is available between the 20031129 and
20031203 cur en dumps; this is made against the uncompressed source
version. The delta is about 5 megabytes, compared with ~140 megs for
the bzipped complete dump.

If you don't have lots of memory, this might run slow. It would
probably run really slow on the old dump.
