Haven't yet worked out exactly where backups are going to be coming from. The backup I made while transferring is currently in the usual locations, but in gzip instead of bzip2 compression (since that was faster). download.wikipedia.org main page doesn't reflect this just yet; go in manually if you _really_ want it now.

As an experiment, an xdelta diff is available between the 20031129 and 20031203 cur en dumps; this is made against the uncompressed source version. The delta is about 5 megabytes, compared with ~140 megs for the bzipped complete dump.

If you don't have lots of memory, this might run slow. It would probably run really slow on the old dump.
