I am specifically trying to fetch http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/scans/EB1911_tiff/*/* without wasting the resources to spider wikisource (where the images in question are linked) to find all the filenames.
I made my original inquiries on IRC and was told that http://dumps.wikimedia.org/images/special/commons/20051126_upload.tar may contain the files that I want, but I would rather not waste the time downloading all 290GB just to find out. I was told that wikitech was the right place to ask about such things, so here I am.
Any pointers would be appreciated.
I made a tar file for you:
