I created Local Area Networking my friend. I think I know if a system works or not.
You invented LAN?? I guess everything I have heard about Robert Metcalfe is completely false because "Jeffrey V. Merkey" posted otherwise.

I have. Go back and read this list for the traces posted.
"Traces posted"? Do you mean... the debugging output from php5 when it is importing your database? I might be blind, but I can see nothing.

There is a big difference between whether or not imports work and whether or not your machine can handle them.
The imports bugs have a large number of pages on google about this and a lot of other places.

You might be providing a true argument, but I am not convinced right now. All of my tests have worked, it definitely could be faster, but I do not understand why you are having issues. It seems to me like it is your fault, not Wikimedia's fault.
fly off when imports, reading, and editing or going on at the same time.

I would also like to know what your proposed solution would be? Allow people to dynamically load Wikipedia's content? Do you have any idea how ridiculous that sounds?

Hello,
I can verify that uploading MediaWiki dumps works.
I was able to successfully import (using *nothing but the built in MW tools*) ba.wikipedia.org to test.kgprog.com in a few minutes with a brand new installation of MW 1.9.3.
The list of things that I had to do (in case Merkey really does want to learn how to do this):
- Download MediaWiki
- Download the dump (for BA wiki and this test it was
http://download.wikipedia.org/bawiki/20070222/bawiki-20070222-pages-articles... )
- Install MediaWiki (many tutorials on doing this)
- Extract the XML file from the bz2 compressed file (I used bunzip2 on Linux)
- Move the extracted xml file to maintenance/dump.xml
- In a terminal cd to maintenance
- Type in "php importDump.php dump.xml"
- Wait for the dump to finish
- Type in "php rebuildrecentchanges.php"
The wiki has now been successfully created with all of the dumped pages from Wikimedia Foundation.
