Input requested: https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2017-January/087393.html , https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T99483 Personally I think that the main issue is the slowness of some of the tools people use (including dumps.wikimedia.org itself), so I tried to improve the docs a bit with what I learnt: * https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_dumps/Download_tools#Downloading_the_X… * https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_dumps#Faster_archives_and_servers Nemo P.s.: In the last few weeks I archived 20+ TiB of Wikimedia Commons files on Internet Archive and I'm continuing, see http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Wikimedia_Commons .

Happy New Year to you all, and no apologies for cross-posting! The 2016 annual report for Kiwix is out and you can check it out online here [1] or offline (pdf) [2]. In a nutshell so you don’t have to click: - More than a million downloads from 200+ countries and territories (including Antarctica, apparently); - Wikimed went global; - 80% of our volumes are in the Global South. But if you DO click: you’ll get a sneak peek at what we’re preparing for 2017. Also: a big thanks to folks at the Foundation and Wikimedia CH for their support. Have a nice, no, an awesome day The Kiwix Team [1] http://www.kiwix.org/ar2016/ <http://www.kiwix.org/ar2016/> [2] https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kiwix_2016_Annual_Report.pdf <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kiwix_2016_Annual_Report.pdf> <https://www.kiwix.org/> Stephane Coillet-Matillon stephane(a)kiwix.org <mailto:stephane@kiwix.org> / +41 79 215 8510 Kiwix Internet content for people without internet access www.kiwix.org <http://www.kiwix.org/> <https://htmlsig.com/t/000001C4NNKR> <https://htmlsig.com/t/000001C4NNKR>
