I might be overreacting to the government's assault on the internet, but I feel like it's better to be safe. 16 hours to go!

It's actually a 7GB download, 31GB uncompressed. I imagine most people have that much space on their computers.

Ah, I gotcha.

That sounds horrible. Why would anybody want that? I can understand wanting all the revisions of some pages, but all of them?
