    You can fit text-only wikipedia on a normal Blu Ray as it’s only about 24GB. You can also easily fit Llama 3.1 or any of the other open, offline capable ai models as they’re only about 4GB.

    yes you really can; it’s like 20-25 gb depending on how recent of a copy you have. I’ve been seeding wikipedia for almost a year and it barely takes any space on my computer

      The sizes I mentioned are from around 2023-2024, from en.wikipedia.org/…/Wikipedia:Size_of_Wikipedia

      I suggest the happy medium called Kiwix, directly from the programme you can download all of Wikipedia with medium-sized pictures for a hundred gigabytes or so.

      KiwiX on mobile gives 111.1GB Wikipedia download, It also has a bunch of diff categories if you don’t want the super large one.

    500TB is still surprisingly reasonable for what is essentially a library of human (surface level) knowledge.

    It would be interesting to know how large the file would be including all Text Form references (i’d imagine anything else such as videos would completely blow the proportions)

  kiwix? that’s compressed (afaik), and when i tried, it took up half of my disk space and needed ethernet
