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.xzplatonides@bots:~$
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


Best regards
