    Wikipedia is 109.89GB… You could have enough space on your phone that you’re reading this post on.

        Uh… Well, no? I mean you can go see for yourself. Click an article. Media is there. https://library.kiwix.org/viewer#wikipedia_en_all_maxi_2024-01/A/User:The_other_Kiwix_guy/Landing

        I don’t know exactly what subsets of stuff this is, as I know that wikipedia is about 1/2 petabyte total data all in. But this specific zim export is all English articles with some media. I believe that ALL the English articles is about 50GB and the other 55-ish GB is just media. It’s definitely cutdown, but not devoid.

          Huh, guess I was wrong. I was pretty sure the text part alone was that much
