-'''Kiwix''' is perfect to read '''Wikipedia''' offline. In order to read and enjoy the Wikipedia articles offline, you will need:

+'''Kiwix''' is perfect for reading many different types of content - like for example '''Wikipedia''' - offline.
-To obtain Wikipedia offline on your computer, you can download the components separately or download a package including all of them:
+In order to read and enjoy all of them, you will need:
-* '''Non-indexed ZIM''' files contain only a ZIM file. This allows you to search for articles by title, including suggestions. You may want to [[Special:MyLanguage/ZIM Indexing|index]] later if you need to do fulltext searches.
+# [[Software|Kiwix (the software)]]
-* '''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.
+# The [http://www.openzim.org ZIM file] with the content of your choice.
-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.
+Once [[Software|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 [http://www.qbittorrent.org/ 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.
-There are two ways to download each file:
+Remark: More information about the ZIM file names nomenclature can be found [https://download.kiwix.org/zim/README here] (in English)
-* '''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.

-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.
-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.
