dumps.wikimedia.org, downloads.wikimedia.org will be down on Thursday June 26 from 13.30 UTC until 14.30 UTC. While we expect the actual downtime to be much less, we're blocking one hour just in case.
We will be moving it to a new rack in preparation for improved bandwidth, and yes this mean raising download caps.
Services affected: dumps and pageview downloads, any other files hosted on the server.
Dumps themselves will be stopped during the duration of the downtime. They will be restarted as needed once the host is back on line.

And Murphy has spoken. The server is being finicky about coming back up, so we're over the window. Apologies and I'll update as soon as we have more information.

That was the longest one hour window I've ever taken part in. But it's over, the dumps are back on line and everything should be functioning normally. After this last round of dumps that were interrupted catches up in a couple of days, I'll be tweaking the bandwidth cap for downloaders.
