John, what is the wiki page linking to these dumps we need to be
imported/re-uploaded to ocal? Could you keep a clear listing of them,
and what to be done to them...including what you say below with the
zerobyte file...I feel like my brain is about to break, so I want to
make sure we are all on the same page :)

Cool, how many are in there? Maybe can process the same way...please put
up notes about all these on the wiki...that will make accounting
easier...plus, good to note the original source that we are
human-parsing so that if anyone complains, we can tell them where the
original is and they can re-upload there copy from there, agree?

This sounds really great guys!!!
