As the subject says, the first mirror of our XML dumps is up, hosted at C3Sl in BRazil. We're really excited about it. Details are listed on the main index page on our download server ( http://dumps.wikimedia.org/ ) and are reproduced below for everyone's convenience:
Site: Centro de Computação Científica e Software Livre (C3SL), at the Universidade Federal do Paraná in Brazil. Contents: the 5 most current complete and successful dumps of each project Access: HTTP: http://wikipedia.c3sl.ufpr.br/ FTP: ftp://wikipedia.c3sl.ufpr.br/wikipedia/ rsync: rsync://wikipedia.c3sl.ufpr.br/wikipedia/
A big thank you to the folks there for providing the space and working with us to make it happen.
Please forward this on to researchers or others who might want to know about it but aren't on these lists.
