Which dump files are exactly looking for?  Dumps like

https://dumps.wikimedia.org/wikidatawiki/entities/20201116/wikidata-20201116-all.json.gz

which can also be found on https://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/wikidata/
as 20201116.json.gz ?

If you are looking for these dumps, I have about 8 TB stored on
external disks.  Transferring these over the network might be
difficult, however.  Please contact me off-list, if this you need any
of these dumps, maybe we can arrange something.

I'm curious, what are you trying to do with all of these files?
Processing all of them must take months.  My processor usually picks
up the dump on Wednesday and takes 80 hours to comb through it.  But
my processor is written in Perl, something in C or Rust might be a lot
faster...
