   We have disabled http (direct) downloads for the day to get some breathing space.
   No worries, that's only for today.

   But this means that downloads through the Kiwix app won't work. You will need to use a torrent 🌊 client instead

   Here is the torrent file: https://download.kiwix.org/zim/wikipedia/wikipedia_en_all_maxi_2025-08.zim.torrent

     @kiwix@mastodon.social Downloads through the app dont work Might be a good idea if the app was able to download from torrent sources, or if the app could access (torrent)-downloaded files from a local desktop pc, without the need to configure a local directory on the android device and manually copy from pc to android.

     Good news: the offline version of Wikipedia is back!
     Bad news: so many people are currently trying to download it that our mirrors got crowded out and can't download the update!

     So what's next ? 👇
