It sadly failed as noted in http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/xmldatadumps-admin-l/2010-January/000078.html I've updated the index to clear that up. --tomasz Hi Tomasz, The pages-meta-history.xml.bz2 is showing 115.4GB written (in progress) at: http://download.wikipedia.org/enwiki/20100130/ The older pages-meta-history.xml.bz2 from http://download.wikipedia.org/enwiki/20091128/ shows 255.1GB written (failed build) So once the 20100130 current pages-meta-history.xml.bz2 dump is finished writing, will it be over 255GB as it is newer than the older copy and contains more info? Also these big files aren't weblinked for download lately I noticed. I think they should be as they contain the full wikipedia history/discussion pages which have humongous amounts of useful information that should be available for easy distribution. What is the reason they aren't weblinked, the bandwidth costs? cheers, Jamie Jamie Morken wrote: > Hi, > > I was looking at the enwiki dump progress and noticed the file size for the > enwiki pages-meta-history.xml.bz2 has decreased > from 255GB on 20100125 down to 105GB on 20100203.
