Kingsley,
You should address your question directly to the project organisers,
we're a technology provider and host some of the data but it is not up
to us when or where the dumps get shared. My understanding is that
because this is officially sanctioned data they want to ensure that
the provenance is built into the datasets properly. My hope and wish
is that the commitment to making dumps available will be built into
the guidelines the UK Government are working on. But those won't be
issued during this month because of the election.
Okay, but the need for dumps is working its way into the fundamental
guidelines for Linked Open Data.
As you can imagine (and I have raised these concerns on the UK Govt
mailing list a few times), this project is high profile and closely
associated with Linked Open Data; thus, unclarity about these RDF dumps
is confusing to say the very least.
Anyway, I am set for now, will wait and see re. what happens post
election etc..

Ian,
While on the subject of mirrors and Linked Open Data in general.
Do you have any idea as to the whereabouts of RDF data sets for the SPARQL
endpoints associated with data.gov.uk? As you can imagine, I haven't opted
to crawl your endpoints for the data bearing in LOD community ethos i.e.,
publish dataset dump locations for SPARQL endpoints that host Linked Open
Data. This best practice was devised SPARQL endpoint crawling in mind.
Example:
http://data.gov.uk/sparql
Where would I get the actual RDF datasets loaded into the endpoint above?
Here is the RPI example re. data.gov:
