the dumps do not contain any images, just the description text that goes along with them. Platonides got you a raw copy of the actual files

Hi Platonides
First let me thank you very much!
99 GByte, how could that be? On https://dumps.wikimedia.org/commonswiki/20160305/ there are dumps like commonswiki-20160305-pages-articles-multistream.xml.bz2 with 6.7 GByte and that file should contain "Articles, templates, media/file descriptions, and primary meta-pages, in multiple bz2 streams, 100 pages per stream". Doesn't this include the svg-files, too? (Though I haven't found out how to get the contents out what it actually contains, because my GUI-programs on Win 7 Premium 64bit regularily crash when trying to open it. And trying to download the version splitted in 4 files now crashes my computer.)
If you say 99 GByte is correct, I will start downloading it. (I have downloaded such big files before with the openstreetmap data, and it worked.)
Best regards Dieter

Hello Dieter
That would be similarly hard for me than for you.
I have run the equivalent of:
mkdir dieter-svgs cd dieter-svgs wget
http://tools.wmflabs.org/heritage/commonswiki_svg_list-2016-03-02.txt.xzplat... time wget http://tools.wmflabs.org/heritage/commonswiki_svg_list-2016-03-02.txt.xz xz -d commonswiki_svg_list-2016-03-02.txt.xz time wget --force-directories -i commonswiki_svg_list-2016-03-02.txt cd .. tar -cjf dieter-svgs-2016-03-02.tar.bz2 dieter-svgs/
I have kept the directory structure in place (by using the --force-directories parameter) so that it isn't too stressful for the filesystem. Still, a GUI app will probably choke on it.
And after a quite long wait, here is the result: https://archivos.wikimedia.es/dieter-svgs-2016-03-02.tar.bz2 (99GB)
SHA256 checksum: 48966777cc5f5d733b2a1eaf4d11f86853e9545a56da329929c996e330b38e28 dieter-svgs-2016-03-02.tar.bz2
