Some of these sources require a lot of hard disk space to download. The application contains links to these sources and offers to start the download in either a web browser or using a BitTorrent client.įrom the WebArchive interface you can select the language for the sources to download, but as expected, you'll find less sources for languages other than English. WebArchives doesn't directly download Wikipedia and other sources (it doesn't have a built-in download manager). The software supports reading ZIM files, an open file format that stores wiki content for offline usage, and it offers download links for a large number of sources, including Wikipedia, Stack Exchange sites (including Code Review, Super User, AskUbuntu, Bitcoin, etc.), ArchWiki, RationalWiki, TED talks, Vikidia, WikiMed Medical Encyclopedia, Wikinews, Wikisource, and many others. After downloading a source, no Internet connection is needed to read, search and browse Wikipedia. No problem, install WebArchives and download the Wikipedia source on your laptop before you go. Or maybe you want to do some research somewhere up in the mountains where there's no Internet. The application is useful for those without a permanent Internet connection or those using metered connections - the offline sources can be downloaded at a friend's house, copied on a USB stick, and imported into WebArchives. WebArchives is a web archive reader for Linux desktops which provides the ability to browse articles offline from websites such as Wikipedia or Wikisource, in multiple languages. ![]()
