Hi again;<br><br>Today, I have discovered the design of the early Wikipedia database download page, available in Internet Archive.[1]<br><br>Surprisingly you can download some of the dumps, but of course, only the tiniest ones. For example, the old table dump for <a href="http://cs.wikipedia.org">cs.wikipedia.org</a>[2] which is 595 KB and expands to 4.1 MB.<br>

<br>They are not so &quot;usable&quot;, only for data hoarders ; ) and nostalgia time. A piece of (Internet|Wikipedia) history.<br><br>Regards,<br>emijrp<br><br>[1] <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20031213055854/http://download.wikimedia.org/">http://web.archive.org/web/20031213055854/http://download.wikimedia.org/</a><br>

Hi all;<br>
<br>
Yesterday, I wrote a post[1] with some links to current dumps, old 
dumps, and another raw data like Domas visits logs. Also, some links to 
Internet Archive where we can download some historical dumps. Please, 
can you share your links?<br>
<br>
Also, what about making a tarball with thumbnails from Commons? 800x600 
would be a nice (re)-solution, to avoid a TB dump. If not, probably it 
will never be published an image dump. Commons is growing ~5000 images 
per day. It is scaring.<br>
<br>
