    Just saw the latest August XML dump for releases and it's incomplete. It begins with release 14937412 and is less than 3GB compressed (as opposed to previous dumps which are over 10GB).

    Given there was never a July extract produced, can someone explain what's going on?

    Thanks very much.

    I submitted a support request earlier today - hopefully we get a response from someone @ Discogs...

    Does anyone have any suggestions on how best to contact support with this issue?

    On 2nd of August I finally got a human reply for a support request submitted on July 7th (about the July data).

    "This is a known issue, and our Product team is looking into it. In the meantime, our apologies for any inconvenience caused."

    Leaving here some nerd stuff, hopefully it's useful to someone:

    Last release Id in June data: 27252777
    Total releases in August data: 4318302
    First release Id in August data: 14937412
    Last release Id in August data: 27842250
    Index of release 27252777 in August data: 4146956
    That would mean there are 171346 releases in August data that are not in June data.
    Usually there are 90000 releases more month by month,
    so I would dare to venture that with the June and August data combined we should have all releases (though none of the eventual edits of the missing ones obviously).
  • lincoln17 4 months ago

    Agreed. And yes - as you point out, we are likely missing updates to any release ids < 14937412 that were made in June / July. It would just be helpful to hear from someone on the Discogs team that they're aware of and working on the issue.

    I am glad to read that I am not the only one who noticed.

    +1 from me on this issue - I really hope that the product team is going to fix it!

    It looks like the September dump is complete again.
  • lincoln17 3 months ago

    It looked that way for a few hours, but when I checked the site today to see if September artists and labels were ready, I saw that releases was gone and no longer available for download.

    Can someone from DISCOGS please respond and let us know the status / timing of complete downloads of releases, artists, and labels for September?
  • BBart 3 months ago

    No download and no word from Discogs...

    Any reason the September releases dump was available on the website for a few hours and then subsequently pulled?

    Any update please. This has been going on for several months - the last full dump was back in June 2023. Many thanks.
  • Diognes_The_Fox 2 months ago

    It's running now. Takes a few days to finish. I don't have a firm date, but it shouldn't be much longer.
  • BBart about 1 month ago

    Thanks. Everything is working again. At least for me ;).
