It was a grand total of 109 Gigabytes. If you have a decent internet speed it shouldn\u2019t take you longer than 1 hour. Just thought I\u2019d share here because it\u2019s cool having Wikipedia stored away on your personal storage devices, and in the event of the internet going out it might come in handy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Critical Information to Get ASAP (While It&#039;s Legal)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/N1aQX9HO8-4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/download.kiwix.org\/zim\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Upvote1.9KDownvote249Go to commentsSh<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n<p>TL\/DR : https:\/\/williamhuster.com\/download-the-internet-with-kiwix\/<\/p>\n<p>And here I was looking for something to do this weekend!<\/p>\n<p>Did You Know You Can Download All of Wikipedia in under 110 GB? by inDataHoarder<\/p>\n<p>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 [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-737","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","odd"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/brainlessideas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/737","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/brainlessideas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/brainlessideas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brainlessideas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brainlessideas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=737"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/brainlessideas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/737\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":741,"href":"https:\/\/brainlessideas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/737\/revisions\/741"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/brainlessideas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=737"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brainlessideas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=737"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brainlessideas.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=737"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
