Thanks for the feedback! Good idea. I've made a basic page now at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Offline_Projects/XOWA. It uses much of the material from the earlier email. I'll add more later, and try to find a suitable place to link it into the https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Offline_Projects/ section. The files are for en.wikipedia.org articles only.[1] I also have image thumbnail databases for en.wiktionary.org, en.wikiquote.org, and species.wikimedia.org. I'm waiting on a reply from archive.org to see if I can upload them as well. If I don't hear from them by the end of today, I'll upload them to my google drive, and forward the links. I'm working on en.wikisource.org, but it may not be ready for a few weeks (it has substantially more images than the others). en.wikiversity.org, en.wikibooks.org and en.wikinews.org are queued for later (in several weeks) Sorry. What is "IA search"? ---- Finally, I realized I omitted a torrent #1 from the list below: https://archive.org/download/Xowa_enwiki_2013-11-04_images_complete_00/Xowa… ---- [1]: Specifically, all main namespace articles (4.4 million) in the 2013-11-04 English Wikipedia dump as providede here: http://dumps.wikimedia.org/enwiki/20131104/enwiki-20131104-pages-articles.x… On Mon, Nov 25, 2013 at 4:23 AM, Yann Forget &lt;yannfo(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: > Hello, > > Good work, but could you make a list of torrent somewhere on Meta?
