Hi Tomasz,

I don't think there are any (failed or successful) weblinked \
"pages-meta-history.xml.bz2" or "pages-meta-history.xml.7z" files for the enwiki on \
the wikimedia download server.  I think there must be a successful enwiki \
"pages-meta-history" from 2009 floating around somewhere, I think that the last \
successful dump (guessing Sept 2009?) should always be linked for download.  If you \
have a copy of the latest successful build of "pages-meta-history" (.bz2 or .7z) for \
enwiki I'd appreciate it if you posted a link, thanks

cheers,
Jamie
