Wikimedia Downloads
If you are reading this on Wikimedia servers, please note that we have rate limited downloaders and we are capping the number of per-ip connections to 2. This will help to ensure that everyone can access the files with reasonable download times. Clients that try to evade these limits may be blocked. Our mirror sites do not have this cap.
