The "Articles, templates, image descriptions, and primary meta-pages" 
(pages-articles.xml.bz2) is only about half the size (5.3 GB) of the 
full dump.  Also, you might try just downloading part of the dump file: 
I'd expect most tools to be able to process a truncated dump, even if 
they might complain about an unexpected end of file.
