You tipically download the whole wikipedia, because you know what are
doing, and want to use in some project (maybe create a 700 MB cd-rom
version?  or doing datamining on the delicious corpus of data of the
wikipedia..).

I suggest you to run a few search on that interface, to get
interesting messages.  Try to search "GB dump", "dump torrent",  and
the likes.
