The problem is not with downloading. The problem is with loading the data into mysql.
Fawad, you must be replying to another post, because I was replying to Osnat, who was complaining that the 5.4G dump was 1.5G. I just disproved that.

When I try to download pages-meta-current the size is 1.5GB, instead of 5.4GB. When I download pages-articles the size is 3GB like it should be.
Now, I have all of the relevant dumps locally... so let me try to unpack and import them into MySQL, and see if they continue to work. I suspect that they will, because they always have for me.
I have the whole process of fetch, unpack, import scripted to happen unattended and aside from initial debugging, it has not failed yet in the last year or more.
I'll post back with my results when that is done.
