At first, there was a problem downloding with the torrent, as you can see in the comments area here. More specifically, the downloading of stackoverflow dump data got stuck. A few days later the downloading seemed to work. However,

When I ran tail -n 10 Posts.xml, I got

The creationDate suggests this is probably the last dump (september, 2014). Data dump from other sites seems to be current although I only verified with small sites like apple.stackexchange.com.
How did this happen? And more importantly, can it be fixed?

  • @Werner I took a look at the extracted stackoverflow Posts.xml file, its date modified is sept 17, 2014. So I think they have the wrong file after all...

    @Werner I've done grep 2014-10 Votes.xml to verify that, and no results: meta.stackexchange.com/a/269760/200117 2014-09 is the latest it seems.
