Downloading dumps: Connection closed at byte 4100096.

$ wget
http://download.wikimedia.org/enwiki/latest/enwiki-latest-pages-articles.xml.bz2

After a while, I get:

2009-07-17 21:17:28 (0.00 B/s) - Connection closed at byte 4100096. Giving up.

I try again, and I get the same error (again). I've tried downloading it from
various locations (france, cuba, finland), and the connection always closes
at byte 4100096.

Is there anything wrong?

The dumps server had some problems with its RAID array. We've replaced
the bogus drives and let it rebuild and are now confirming whether data
is intact.

In the worst case, we have the latest dump of all wikis backed up and
ready to restore to a fresh drive array.
