Hi, I want to download the wikipedia database dump of English version. But the whole database dump is 10.1GB, which is too large for me. In fact, I only need a part of the database, and any part is ok for me. Can I download a small database, which is the subset of the whole database dump ?
The "Articles, templates, image descriptions, and primary meta-pages" (pages-articles.xml.bz2) is only about half the size (5.3 GB) of the full dump. Also, you might try just downloading part of the dump file: I'd expect most tools to be able to process a truncated dump, even if they might complain about an unexpected end of file.
