            Bug ID: 55503
           Summary: Extend Kiwix mirroring
           Product: Datasets
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Unprioritized

The WMF hosts a mirror of the ZIM files we generate at Kiwix at
http://dumps.wikimedia.org/kiwix/. This is a great value for us.

Since 6 months, we have been advertising in priority "portable packages"
on our web site. They are big zip files containing (Kiwix+ZIM+fulltext
index). This is really easier to use and well appreciated by Windows and
Linux users.

Our problem is that we have a growing traffic and a important part of
the traffic is generated by these portable packages. These zip files are
available at http://download.kiwix.org/portable/ and this would be great if
this directory could be also be mirrored.

You can consider that this repertory is around 2 times bigger than the zim
directory. Currently 239G for the "zim" directory and 329G for the "portable"
directory.

We are also reorganizing the directory structure to create thematic
sub-directories, so the directories which should be mirrored additionally to
the current "zim/0.9/" one would be:
zim/wikipedia
zim/wikisource
zim/wiktionary
zim/wikivoyage
portable/wikipedia
portable/wikisource
portable/wiktionary
portable/wikivoyage
