Dear ones,
Where might I get or mirror a dump of Commons media files?
It seems worth mentioning on the front page of
https://dumps.wikimedia.org/
It looks like the compressed XML of the ~50M
description pages is ~25GB.
It looks like wiki-team set up a dump script that
posted monthly dumps to
the internet archive; in 2013 it stopped include the
month+year in the
title; in 2016 it stopped altogether.
