    Hi every1, this is my first post.

    Alston for wikipedia you can download their entire current article database from:

    http://download.wikimedia.org/enwiki/latest/
    and select this link:

    enwiki-latest-pages-articles.xml.bz2
    The file is 3.4 GB

    I heard that they may have wikipedia's database in dvd form, but I wouldnt know where to look for that.

    Anyways, good luck.
