you can download title lists at http://download.wikimedia.org/

you can use Special:Allpages for page prefixes

and you may provide an index methodology for regexp queries.

sorry, I see nothing useful but database dumps

sorry, the Special:Allpages seems not doing regexp filtering, but ignore other
pages which are "less than" it.

and you may provide an index methodology for regexp queries.

sorry, what is "index methodology"?

[[Special:Prefixindex]] does pretty much what you want, i guess
