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.
