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.
