There are several ways to access an offline version of Wikipedia, either by desktop applications, their versions for mobile or even DVDs sold by companies affiliated with known online encyclopedia. But they all fail in one respect: they do not offer all the items available, some barely a 2000 theirs. Yesterday's own Wikipedia announced that solved this problem by providing an entire encyclopedia on giant file of 9.7 GB.
To create the file format used to organize OpenZIM, which is a type of compression format "specifically set up for sharing content Wiki," they say. Provide this file to a server, of course, explode all possible odds, then Wikipdia launched the collection through a torrent you can download here.
Within this file are only articles in English Wikipedia (at least those created by January this year) and no pictures available in the online version. To get an idea, only thumbnail images of items were added to the final file size would be about 100 GB. But are all included in this file lists, tables, quotes and mathematical formulas. So is sufficiently complete and well illustrated.
Erik Moeller, Wikipedia, specifically cites the official blog post that the offline version of the site will be very useful during a zombie apocalypse. I think he was biased for the zombies and forgot that the possibility of alien attack is something equally probable.
