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.
Remark: More information about the ZIM file names nomenclature can be found here (in English)
Content flavor
* "mini" means that only a subset of the text is available, probably
the first section
* "nopic" means that most pictures have been removed
* "maxi" means everything except large media files like video/audio
* no indication means we have done our best to scrape everything
You might also rarely find:
* "nodet", which means that this is a text subset but
pictures and videos should be there.
