time. We are talking about whether or not dumps from Wikimedia
work, not whether or not your system is good.
I created Local Area Networking my friend. I think I know if a system
works or not.
You invented LAN?? I guess everything I have heard about Robert
Metcalfe is completely false because "Jeffrey V. Merkey" posted
otherwise.

importDumps.php it does not look like it would stop working after a
larger xml file is loaded.
I have. Go back and read this list for the traces posted.
"Traces posted"? Do you mean... the debugging output from php5 when
it is importing your database? I might be blind, but I can see
nothing.

There is a big difference between whether or not imports work and
whether or not your machine can handle them.
The imports bugs have a large number of pages on google about this and a
lot of other places.

You might be providing a true argument, but I am not convinced right
now. All of my tests have worked, it definitely could be faster, but
I do not understand why you are having issues. It seems to me like it
is your fault, not Wikimedia's fault.

I would also like to know what your proposed solution would be? Allow
people to dynamically load Wikipedia's content? Do you have any idea
how ridiculous that sounds?
