Hello,

    I have been trying for a few days to download the xml wikipedia dump
(pages-articles.xml.bz2) but the official links point to a file that
is less than 1k and bzip2 says the file is corrupted. I can't seem to
find one good version of either the standard wikipedia xml dump or the
one with comments and user pages. Either will do, but I am getting
desperate. Could someone please help? If you could point me to an
older dump, anything at all, I would really appreciate it. I have
trying everything that came to mind, but i can't even get someone to
tell me if I am doing something stupid and that they can download the
fie at http://download.wikimedia.org/enwiki/20070402/.

    If you could help me I would be eternally grateful.

    Thank you very much,

Vasco Calais Pedro
