Download Wikipedia Offline Version - Free for Students use

Download Wikipedia offline version - Wikipedia for Schools

Submitted by Chetan on Thursday, 30 October 200813 Comments

Wikipedia is the first site that comes into mind when you are thinking from an educational side, and students generally prefer Wikipedia over other information websites, when they have to refer about something related to their education.

Still, some universities have blocked wikipedia in their servers or wi-fi areas due to many reasons, one of them being mis-use during examination times. There is no access for many students to Wikipedia site although they have the internet access. For them, the offline version of Wikipedia would be an awesome help.

This is particularly for students aged 8-18 years and related to their educational topics. It is called “Wikipedia for Schools” which is a file that can be downloaded to your computer and you can use it during your offline time too.

Its nearly 3 GB in size and can be downloaded through Bittorrent or Limewire. The entire file would have around 5500 articles that are related to educational topics of students.

Click on this link to download the file. Thanks Sizlopedia!

@Varun: but sometimes Wikipedia suffers from cyber bullies so the facts there are not trustworthy at times
