Hi,
2012/4/2 Ariel T. Glenn ariel@wikimedia.org:
This is phase one of a plan to make uploaded media from WMF projects accessible for download in bulk. It, like many other things lately, is experimental and subject to breakage, change, etc.
First, a big thanks to Kevin Day from Your.org who offered us the space and worked with us many hours to sort out networking issues, try different NAS setups, and generally do what was needed to get this going.
Rsync url: ftpmirror.your.org::wikimedia-images/projectname/languagecode
For example:
rsync -a ftpmirror.yours.org::wikimedia-images/wikipedia/commons /my/dir
would get you all of commons including archived versions (no deleted images of course).
That's awesome news! Thank you all.
Best regards,
