@caralice English Wikipedia with images is around 100GB. Without images is 54GB.

@wikipedia @caralice although for some reason the Kiwix file is 100, probably has images

@caralice @wikipedia About 100GB apparently! library.kiwix.org/#lang=eng&q=… (But a lot less if you only want English articles.)

@caralice @wikipedia @spinal apparently, there's an article only version and its just 22 gigs. which I found surprisingly small

@caralice @wikipedia If you ignore wikimedia? Actually not that large at all.

<100GB, it basically fits on any computer you buy these days.

The full terabytes dump is also available. That is a bit more expensive but 12TB drives are readily available.
