Hello, for a while I've been generating html dumps of Wikipedia, that I would like now to make public (since similar things are popping up left and right, and it seems that it would be useful for legitimate mirroring).
Unfortunately, I lack the web space/bandwidth to host it myself. The complete, compressed dump of the English wikipedia is around 750MB, including all images. Adding the other languages (the ones using MediaWiki software) it's about 1 GB. Removing images it goes down to maybe 200 megabytes.
Is there anyone with a suitable hosting? It needs aboud 1GB of space (and growing a bit week after week :-), and reasonable bandwidth. Also, should the dump include images or copyright issues are still unresolved?
Ciao, Alfio

Ibiblio would probably host a mirror. email help@ibiblio.org. Images on a mirror should be no worse than the images on Wikipedia itself, the problem comes up when they are used in other contexts, especially commerical contexts.
