Hello Everyone,
I am curious to know that is it possible to access the Wikimedia commons file in the
Toolforge/CloudVPS? Like in the toolforge, we have some mount points to access the XML
dump.
In short, I want to copy the video files in my tool directory instead of downloading them
from Wikimedia commons.
Cloud VPS and Toolforge do not have any special means to access media
from Commons, but the servers which run Cloud VPS and the servers
which form the Swift cluster that stores all of the Commons media are
within several meters of each other so download speeds should be high.
