Hello dumps.wikimedia.org users,

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.

Best,

Madhumitha Viswanathan & Ariel Glenn
