Tim,
Well, how many gigs are we talking about? I prefer not to actually. The answer is 1.4 GB. If you don't want to do that, no worries.
Also, if the idea was for multiple people to be able to do something like this, I can even do something like create a temporary location on files.o.o with all the old-en files in one directory.
This would be of GREAT help. If the position is known, it eliminates switch from new to old wiki all the time, to find and download your missing images. If we can get to multiple uploading, then it will be perfect: *Check tranferred articles *Paste all the red File: links in a text file *Download all the files in one time with wget *Upload them again in one time *10 pages fixed in no time! I'll get it done. I'll get back to you in hopefully just a little while.
