I need to download wikipeida 2007 dump as the
current dump is quite large.
So, I wander if it's still available for download as I could only find 2009
and 2010 dumps on the download page!
I was wondering about the old dumps recently for another reason (to
get old links data, not to get a small file). Dumps pages older than
about the last six months (for example:
<http://download.wikimedia.org/enwiki/20091017/>) display a message
saying that the files are offline for maintenance. Is this accurate?
If so, is there any news on the progress of the maintenance?
Sadly that old 2007 dump is no longer on our storage server :(
But! Come next week we should have a nice and shiny new version of it.
But it will certainly be huge.
That maintenance page is left over from a storage array failure and just
needs to be removed.
