From the Kiwix page it looks like these files are of the order of 5-15 GB. Would it be possible to have it available in certain locations on USB flash drives for mailing to people? I would be willing to mail one to people in North America, for example, and maybe Wizzy could have copies available in South Africa. The only issue I foresee would be paying for the flash drives - we wouldn't want to be subsidising people's tech supplies, but it would be nice to make them free for worthy causes. Alternatively, could it be burnt onto a set of DVDs?

Yeah, that's called bittorrent...

Emmanuel is looking for a offline, real life solution.

I like the idea. Makes sense to me.
