Description

Kiwix enables you to have the whole of Wikipedia (and many other web sites) available wherever you go! On a boat, in the middle of nowhere, or when data charges are too high, Kiwix gives you access to the whole human knowledge for free. You don't need Internet, everything is stored on your mobile device!

Download Kiwix from the iTunes App Store then download the ZIM data files which contain the content. You can download these files directly using the Kiwix App on your iPhone, or iPad - but this might take a long time, may incur expensive charges for the download, and is liable to errors because some files are rather large.

A faster and more reliable method is to use a computer to download the small torrent file for the large non-indexed ZIM file you want (not the pre-indexed package for Windows) from http://www.kiwix.org/wiki/Content_in_all_languages, then use a bit-torrent client (such a qTorrent) to download the actual ZIM data file to your computer. You can then transfer the ZIM file to your iOS device using iTunes File Sharing.

Real good stuff

Great work and Kudo, thanks.

Interface problem and unable to resume download after exiting app

When i was downloading rhe 16.41GB wikipedia file, the progress of the download was not shown and i have no idea how long it will take to finish the download. I obviously is not going to wait the whole day for the file to download as i need to use my phone for other purposes but after reentering the app after using facebool i found that the download has stopped but the file was not in the library, i was not able to access the file nor delete the file taking a lot of space and ended up needing to delete the whole app
