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.
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.
You can dowload wikipedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Database_download
here’s the torrent: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_dump_torrents#English_Wikipedia
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, https://archive.org/details/wikimediadownloads
there’s also this, but idk about it, just listing options🤷♀️ https://dumps.wikimedia.org/enwiki/latest/
*just in case someone thinks its suspicious: they were all linked directly from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Database_download under the “Where do I get the dumps?” section

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

Ah, I was just thinking of the sql and xml dumps
