I've been using httrack (https://www.httrack.com https://www.httrack.com) to download wikis to read on flights, which isn't perfect but better than I'd found previously. I'll try this out, I'd be delighted to have good results. Thanks for the post.
- throwaway219450 4mo agoSpecifically for wikis, is there a reason you wouldn't use Kiwix? For non "official" releases it's more complicated, but there are some services to generate the ZIM files. The desktop reader app is pretty good in my experience. https://wiki.openzim.org/wiki/Build_your_ZIM_file https://wiki.openzim.org/wiki/Build_your_ZIM_file EDIT: https://get.kiwix.org/en/solutions/applications/kiwix-reader/ https://get.kiwix.org/en/solutions/applications/kiwix-reader...
- telesilla 4mo agoThanks, never knew about this and great to hear about it.
- tamnd 4mo agoKiwix has readers for almost every platform, Android, desktop, iPhone. That's why I made Kage produce ZIM file. The executable file is mostly for people who don't have Kiwix installed yet, or just want to run the archive directly.

- tamnd 4mo agoThis brings back memories. Around twenty years ago, internet was still expensive dial-up, so I used to go to an internet cafe, run HTTrack to download websites and manga, copy everything onto my tiny 128MB USB stick (felt very large at that time), then bring it home and read offline ;))
