I don't have much insight on this. I accidentally downloaded that one first when I meant to download the Australian one, but quickly realised my mistake because the CSV file inside the archive was correctly spelt. Then I got the actual Australian one.

Would you be able to provide info on how you found the aussie one. So far i've only seen the bugged versions.
Some careful googling somehow turned up the following pieces of "never believe what you read on the internet" 'insight':

> That's because it's the austrian dump file. There's an update with the australian dump in the original raidforums thread, it's just missing from the pastebin index

I obviously have no citations of my own for this anecdata.

Regarding the first post, I went through approximately ~80 pages of "thanks", and one pair of mildly sore eyes later, was unable to find any "update". A torrent *was* posted somewhere around page 80 but this had the wrongly-named file in it. I have also seen a few TG groups that have renamed the file, but it's still the wrong one (like the GP described).

I can confirm that Austraiaia has an eclectic mix of Australia and Austria though - and also that grepping for 'Australia.*Austria\|Austria.*Australia' returns 170 results, grepping for 'Austria' returns 446375 results, and grepping for 'Australia' returns 408 results.

FWIW: I don't think I found the canonical source material - I honestly have no idea where to look - but I did find something. Email is in profile...
FWIW I'm still looking myself. If you see this, feel free to email me (you don't have an email in your profile), and I can let you know if I turn anything up.
