Domas Mituzas:
new dumps (as of 20050516) available at
http://download.wikimedia.org/
Please note, we no longer provide 2GB split files. I do sincerely believe,
that HTTP has enough capability to do partial downloads of files ;-)
And those splits simply double disk space requirements...
The server doesn't handle requests for partial content correctly.
This is the output of
wget -d -c
http://download.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/de/old_table.sql.gz
after I interrupted the previous connection at a file size of
3907378719 Bytes.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Obviously "Range" in the request and "Content-Range" in the response
don't match. This results in wget trying to request the same over and
over again. (Download doesn't start at all. The last line above,
"Erneuter Versuch", means "next try".) Maybe this confused the
T-Online
proxies as well yesterday.
My version of wget is the one that comes with Fedora Core 3 and claims
to be able to handle files larger than 2GB.
