  here’s the torrent: meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_dump_torrents#Englis…
  like 20gb when packed, ~90 when unpacked

  Also archive.org, idk which one to seed that personally fits my limited storage space, so i’ll just link the category, archive.org/details/wikimediadownloads

  there’s also this, but idk about it, just listing options🤷‍♀️ dumps.wikimedia.org/enwiki/latest/

  *just in case someone thinks its suspicious: they were all linked directly from en.wikipedia.org/…/Wikipedia:Database_download under the “Where do I get the dumps?” section

  Thank you so much for this. I have been trying to offline Wikipedia for months but the torrent links on the kiwix site are broken or something. They stall out for me in the first 10m everytime. The download from your link is working perfectly.

    It’s not going to be much use to you if you don’t have a parser, though there are html dumps somewhere iirc.

      Kiwix will parse the en_all .zim file just fine… I’ve got and tested it at this point, the issue I was having is that I couldn’t get Kiwix’s own link to successfully download the file.
