Hi,
I haven't seen a complete dump of the english wikipedia for a while, and I'm a little worried:
I am a PhD student from New Zealand, and I'm completely dependent on this data - particularly the sql tables (page, pagelink, etc). With the last 2 dumps failing, and others being removed, there isnt a single complete dump of the english wikipedia data left available for download - and there hasn't been a new dump since the beginning of April.
Has something happened?
Cheers, Dave

1) It takes a long time.
2) It took more time last time due to starting a completely fresh dump on the new system.

David,
I've got a copy of enwiki-20061104-pages-meta-history.xml.7z and would be happy to share it. Please email me if you'd like it.
Good luck,
Reid
Thanks Reid, but what I'm really after is the pagelinks sql dump file - it failed on the last two dumps, so I cant download it from anywhere.
Cheers, Dave
