If you can download the whole file to your PC, then you can just
import a portion of it and stop the import after some time. The
mwDumper shows you the imported pages in an increment of 1000.
If you do not have enough bandwidth to download the whole thing, you
can use the Special:Export
(
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Export) feature on the English
Wikipedia and then you select the pages you need to download.

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 ?
Thanks for your time and help!
Best Wishes!
