Want everyone to just dynamically crawl the live DB, with whatever screwy lousy inefficiency? FIne, just continue as you are, where that is all that can be relied upon!
Even if you had the dumps, you have another problem: They're incredibly big and so a bit difficult to parse. So, a small suggestion if the dumps will ever be workin' again: Split the history and current db stuff by alphabet, please.

PS: Are there any measurements what traffic is generated by ppl who download the dumps? Have there been any attempts to distribute them via BitTorrent?
