Hi! Last year I was provided very kindly with a list of all svg-files on commons, that is their then *real* http(s)-paths. (Either by John phoenixoverride(a)gmail.com or by Ariel T. Glenn aglenn(a)wikimedia.org aglenn(a)wikimedia.org.) Could I get a current version of this dump, please? (With the real paths and really existing files.) Back then the dump was http://tools.wmflabs.org/betacommand-dev/reports/commonswiki_svg_list.txt.7z as far as I remember. (Someone told me I could create such a dump myself with some wiki-tools. Is this really possible?) Greetings John

You should be able to extract such list with a query such as: SELECT

Hello Platonides! Thank you for being do kind to make the list. Originally I wanted to download the svg-files whenever my program is using the file, one after another. Turned out, that's just not feasible. Could I get a dump of all svg files, please? Not just the list of the files with their paths, but the svg-files themselves? Then I just have them locally, and I don't have to handle all the network exceptions that occur on my side too often. That would be of a great help for me. Greetings Dieter (not John, as I accidentaly wrote in the last post)

Hi Platonides First let me thank you very much! 99 GByte, how could that be? On https://dumps.wikimedia.org/commonswiki/20160305/ there are dumps like commonswiki-20160305-pages-articles-multistream.xml.bz2 with 6.7 GByte and that file should contain "Articles, templates, media/file descriptions, and primary meta-pages, in multiple bz2 streams, 100 pages per stream". Doesn't this include the svg-files, too? (Though I haven't found out how to get the contents out what it actually contains, because my GUI-programs on Win 7 Premium 64bit regularily crash when trying to open it. And trying to download the version splitted in 4 files now crashes my computer.) If you say 99 GByte is correct, I will start downloading it. (I have downloaded such big files before with the openstreetmap data, and it worked.)

Hi Platonides, I succeeded in downloading the file. (After some crashes.) As I'm sure you will need the hd-space, I want to use the checksum you provided, so I could tell you that the data actually arrived. As I'm fed up with using Windows for large files, I'll use an Ubuntu version from an USB-stick for checking the SHA256 checksum. Which program did you use or would you suggest to get the checksum? (Just so eventually I don't choose a program that crashes after the first 20 minutes, as so many download programs did on windows.) Greetings Dieter
