An user reported in the Italian Wikipedia Help Desk [1] that he/she is not more able to download the static dumps from http://static.wikipedia.org/downloads
From what I can see the link it (and many other) in the home page of static.wikipedia.org are not working (are not pointing to an existing file).
The directory /downloads/2008-02 (that is http://static.wikipedia.org/downloads/2008-02/ ) has only the first part of subdirectory: only the subdirectory before eml. All the subdirectory after eml are not present.
The same for the directory /downloads/August_2007 (that is http://static.wikipedia.org/downloads/August_2007/ )
We have a new server for the static HTML dumps which should be set up and generating new dumps within a week. If you want one right now, you'll have to go back to April 2007.
