Full description

Crawl Eurostat -- download every dataset as a gzipped TSV (CONCURRENT, the big bulk). Reads the catalogue TOC, extracts dataset/table codes, downloads each via the SDMX 2.1 dissemination API (format=TSV&compressed=true -- the `files/` bulk path is 410 Gone). Concurrent (thread pool), resumable (skips files already on disk), retry/backoff on 429/5xx, logs progress. Source: Eurostat (CC BY 4.0). Carve-outs applied later at serve. Run: python jobs/fetch_eurostat_bulk.py
