Hello, This seems to be a temporary issue, as the latest partial dump does not have that file made available yet. [1] However, it may signify a larger problem as I believe the intended behavior is that the latest file remains available regardless of whether there is a new dump in the works. Hopefully this can temporarily address your concerns. In the future, it would be possible to use an API to query the status of dumps so that developers can integrate it into their applications, making it easier to query for new dumps and even old archived copies of them.
