Download Whole Wikipedia and Access Offline

WikipediaWikipedia is largest encyclopedia in world and 6th most visited site on web according to alexa. One needs Internet to access Wikipedia, but what if i told you it’s not necessary. Yep, one good thing about wikipedia is that it is designed to be very light and low page size. Kiwix took advantage of this and compressed millions of wikis into a small package.


You can also download the package and install it on computers with no internet connection. Well you might think the package will be huge like hundreds of GBs, but its has reasonable size of 4.1GB. And the best thing is that you can download it either as a resumable direct download or a torrent.

All you have to do is download the package of kiwix reader and the library of articles(these are categorized by language). Kiwix is a free project which was intially developed for schools, so don’t worry about paying. Don’t forget to contribute to Wikipedia when you’re free. Have Fun!!

Kiwix with Wikipedia content
Kiwix is an offline reader for web content. It's software intended to make Wikipedia available without using the internet, but it is potentially suitable for all HTML content. Kiwix supports the ZIM format, a highly compressed open format with additional meta-data.
Kiwix is free software, which means you can freely copy, modify and distribute it.
Kiwix is mostly installed in schools, universities and libraries which can't afford a broadband Internet access. It is much faster than the Internet and also can be used by many institutions to save bandwidth and reader's time. But many people use Kiwix for their own personal purposes, for example, of people suffering from censorship or prisoners.
Kiwix is really easy to use. It provides a range of features which make usage comfortable:
  • Full text search engine
  • Bookmarks & Notes
  • HTTP server
  • PDF/HTML export
  • User interface in more than 100 languages
  • Tabs navigation
  • Integrated content manager and downloader
  • More features...
Kiwix is small and efficient software, usable on lower powered or old computers. It runs on a large range of operating systems, on Android and on the three main PC operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac OSX and GNU/Linux distributions.
