>Extracting just raw text from the Wikipedia dumps is pretty hellish. Did you try just asking them? I'm sure someone there can flick a switch and get it all to you. After all, it's just text, and they must have it all set up to serve however they want. The total size of the English Wikipedia is under 100 GB as uncompressed xml[1] (bearing in mind that xml is pretty verbose). This should not be prohibitive for a Wikipedia admin to generate and to serve to you at your request. Why not? It's a community project sponsored by donations. [1] Eyeballing the trend on this page - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Size_of_Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Size_of_Wikipedia which mentions "As of May 2015, the current version of the English Wikipedia article / template / redirect text was about 51 GB uncompressed in XML format", so I estimate based on the shape of the graph that it is less than 100 GB today.
