(Sorry to bother everyone)
On page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Database_download
It is stated that this file is available: abstract.xml.gz – page abstracts
However, I can only seem to find the uncompressed version: http://dumps.wikimedia.org/enwiki/20130503/
has
enwiki-20130503-abstract.xmlhttp://dumps.wikimedia.org/enwiki/20130503/enwiki-20130503-abstract.xml
This note suggests that the abstracts were at one time compressed: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_dumps/2006_notes
Do the compressed abstracts still exist somewhere (I haven't be able to find them.)
I'd rather minimize traffic by downloading the compressed version of the file.
Many thanks in advance.
