The servers that host the
dumps.wikimedia.org site are being replaced with shiny new hardware! The web service migration is set to happen at 14:30 UTC on Wednesday, April 4 2018. If you are trying to connect to
dumps.wikimedia.org around the migration window, you might experience a short downtime. The switchover should ideally only take a few minutes, and we'll keep you posted once it's all done, or if anything changes!
As always, please feel free to reach out to us with any questions or concerns.
