because it requires us to upload the files, and
the files cannot be deleted in the future, so, upload the latest dumps
(updated every month or so) could be a waste of resources for them. I was
thinking about mirrors who runs wget to slurp all the files from
to ask them about the wget idea.

Hi all;
I have started a new page in meta: for coordinating the efforts in
mirroring
Wikimedia project XML dumps. I asked some days
ago to iBiblio if they
were
interested in this, but they replied:
"Unfortunately, we do not have the
resources to provide a mirror of wikipedia. Best of luck!"
I think that we must work on this, so, all the help is welcome. If you
know
about universities, archives, etc, that could be
interested in get a copy
of
the XML files, for backup or research purposes,
please, add them to the
list
and we can send them a letter.
We are compiling all the human knowledge! That deserves being mirroring
ad
nauseam!
