Sir, you have a gift for understatement.....a full dump of all the SQL/XML data is available, but adds up to terabytes of info. I have NO idea how to reassemble this. (Don't bother with the HTML dumps, the last update was in 2008.)
They do no one any favors by offering "partial dumps" that are currently being processed.

The most recent complete dump is only available on mirrors (that I can see), dates from August 1, and damn is it big.
