Two separate sites indicate potential sources of torrents for *.tar.gz downloads of the en wikipedia database material :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_database and http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_dumps#What_about_bittorrent.3F (so far). Is it possible for anyone to indicate more comprehensive lists of torrents/trackers than these? Are there any plans for all the database download files to be available in this way (I imagine that there would also be some PDF manual which would go along with these to indicate offline viewing, and potentially more info than this).
