Sorry to hear, John. While I'm not ops, is there anything I can help with to get your immediate need filled? What would you do with the dump? Is labsdb a good alternative or do you already have scripts? Do you use http://dumps.wikimedia.org/ ? Are the dumps you need not there? I know that site's experiencing some rate limiting but that's simply a budget issue.
I'm on the analytics team and one of my goals is to make datasets and raw data publicly available, so I appreciate your perspective and I'm sorry in advance if I can't help.
