Kiwix recommends using BitTorrent

Kiwix is perfect for reading many different types of content - like for example Wikipedia - offline.

In order to read and enjoy all of them, you will need:

Kiwix (the software)
The ZIM file with the content of your choice.

Once Kiwix (the software) is installed you have many ways to download content (files):

With Kiwix if your version of Kiwix allows it. Once you have Kiwix open, go to the Kiwix internal library to pick your content.
BitTorrent which downloads the file with a torrent software. Using BitTorrent saves our bandwidth and verifies that your file is not corrupted during the download process.
Direct download which downloads the file directly with your browser.

All content (ZIM files) are available at the Kiwix Online Library

Remark: More information about the ZIM file names nomenclature can be found here (in English)

+Once [[Software|Kiwix (the software)]] is installed you have many ways to download content (files):
-* '''Portable pre-indexed ZIM''' files contain the Kiwix software with a pre-indexed ZIM file. Everything is compressed in a ZIP file. For now, these packages work only with Microsoft Windows and GNU/Linux. In these packages, the ZIM files may be split into several two gigabytes parts to be compatible with FAT32 file-systems.</translate>
+* '''With Kiwix''' if your version of Kiwix allows it. Once you have Kiwix open, go to the Kiwix internal library to pick your content.

-The '''Portable pre-indexed ZIM''' is always a little bit bigger than the '''Non-indexed ZIM''' file, but if you have enough bandwidth, we recommend to download it. It's the easiest way to have a directly usable Wikipedia offline and this package will be really easy to copy to many different places.</translate>

-There are two ways to download each file:
-* '''Bittorent''' (recommended) which downloads the file with a [http://www.utorrent.com torrent software]. Using Bittorrent you save our bandwidth and you get the certainty that your file won't get corrupted during the download process.
-* '''Direct download''' which downloads the file directly with your browser. If you already have Kiwix installed on your computer, we recommend to download this ZIM file from the internal Kiwix library.</translate>

-If you have downloaded a '''Non-indexed ZIM''' file, then you only need to open it with Kiwix (you have downloaded seperatly) and if you need it, index it in addition.</translate>
-<translate><!--T:19-->
-If you have downloaded the '''Portable pre-indexed ZIM''', you will need to unzip it before using it. One time it's unzipped you can find the Kiwix executable in the "kiwix" directory if you use Microsoft Windows or in "kiwix-linux" directory if you use GNU/Linux.</translate>
