By the way, note that is the Wikipedia in English which AFAIK is the largest one. For instance, Wikipedia in Portuguese weighs about 13gb with a few pictures in my Kiwix install.
Has Kiwix gotten any better? I tried to use it a few years ago, but the user experience was super rough. Fantastic idea, but there were lots of UI stalls and glitches that soured my trial.
Honestly? The UX is dogshit lol, at least on the Android app, when you go and download something to find out if it has downloaded or not is a chore and there is no progress notification or indication it's doing anything at all.
I'm considering sending some contributions whenever I have time again for OSS contributions.
However, I find it usable enough that I've been using it quite a lot recently when I don't have internet access to read Wikipedia, StackOverflow and a few other things I downloaded.
