Did You Know You Can Download All of Wikipedia in under 110 GB?
by inDataHoarder

Today I took my first true adventure into the world of Data Hoarding when I discovered you can download all of Wikipedia in a .Zim file no larger than a modern Triple-A game… and I downloaded it! It was a grand total of 109 Gigabytes. If you have a decent internet speed it shouldn’t take you longer than 1 hour. Just thought I’d share here because it’s cool having Wikipedia stored away on your personal storage devices, and in the event of the internet going out it might come in handy.

Edit: Since lots of people were asking how to do this here are the links to the tutorial I followed and to the download directory page for the Zim files.
