Please note that we have rate limited downloaders and we are capping the number of per-ip connections to 3. This will help to ensure that everyone can access the files with reasonable download times. Clients that try to evade these limits may be blocked.
The following kinds of downloads are available:
Files are provided in various formats, including gzipped sql, json or xml, bzipped xml, and 7zipped xml. Older versions of the 7zip decoder on Windows are known to have problems with some bz2-format files for larger wikis; we recommend the use of bzip2 for Windows for these cases. 7zip 20.00 alpha (x64) on Win10 LTSC 2019 and later versions should work properly. Please report problems with these dumps on Phabricator and add the Dumps-generation tag.
