Just to confirm that this works fine, I started up an EC2 instance and 
successfully downloaded this file:

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

I ended up with 5.4 GB of data, and an MD5 checksum of 
802c79045801bfb5f77fab3170af8efc. Just to be sure the file was 
uncorrupted, I ran it through bzcat and got a checksum of 
5dd71caf9ed0b3387b351783325b788a.
