All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part VIII

Venting here - feel free to ignore.

Earlier today, I asked for a backup of the freebie wiki. John has actioned that request, and there's now an XML file sitting in /dumps .

It's a 240444405 byte file. My connection on Firefox gets to 100,000+/-5,000 kB and says the file's completely downloaded. I've seen this before with large XML files - and only with large XML files. I gave up after a dozen tries.

So there's a backup sitting there and I can't pull it offsite to here...

Aarrrgh.

(I've updated the Phabricator ticket asking that the file be zipped or gzipped... but the ticket was already marked as Resolved and I know the ITIL meaning of "Resolved", so I'm not sure it'll happen.)

EDIT: John isn't using the ITIL definition of "Resolved" - I got the gz file.
