Generic Static HTML Offline Wikipedia Dumps
Found static html dump archives for wikipedia! The december version of the english wikipedia isn’t out yet. I’m going to wait for that. I’m pretty sure it can be run locally in a web browser, but it may need an external laptop drive all to itself when unzipped! They are in .7z archives. .7z is for 7-zip. It is open source / GPL. I encourage those who want to contribute the bandwidth, to share a copy on Emule!! And rename the files so they are searchable. wikipedia-en-html-1.7z is only mediocre on searchability. Add ‘dump’, ‘offline’, ‘backup’, ’static html’ to the filename will help. Oh yeah china blocks the wikipedia, probably partially because of these dumps, so get them up on Emule! China does not block Emule (Plenty of HighID chinese users)!!! So chinese can get their tibet massacre or pro-democracy crap off of Emule or BitTorrent while the commy-party thinks their ’subjugated’ citizens are mostly pirating away at american movies (encouraged by import restrictions). Oh yeah, Iran doesn’t block Emule either.

I downloaded all the wikipedia files on the november site, and then got the free 7-zip utility, but when I tried to unzip the four .7z files on the site, 7-zip gave the error message that each of the four .7z files “not a supported archive.” What could be wrong?

There is a Chinese Emule site. The movies come from whatever country they originated in, but have added Chinese captions to them. No viruses either. I download a lot of stuff from them. www.verycd.com.
