It’s unlikely that Wikipedia will disappear any time soon - the Wikimedia Foundation has plenty of funds to support its five servers in Virginia, San Francisco, The Netherlands, Singapore, and Texas. The online encyclopedia has made it to outer space, to tiny villages in South America, and to rural classrooms in West Africa. Wikipedia aims to provide knowledge to the world and it allows for offline downloads in order to reach the 4 billion people without internet access. And from 2009 until 2014, the WikiReader was for sale, but now you can only find it on eBay or resale shops. There was Wikipedia on DVD in 2006, which was similar to Microsoft’s Encarta encyclopedia.

In addition, some downloaded files are set up for technical analysis - not pleasure reading. Like the rest of Wikipedia, many of the tools for downloading are maintained by volunteers, which is very generous and kind but also can mean that certain tools don’t receive the maintenance they need. Wikipedia routinely makes a dump of its databases available publicly for free, and it explains a few different ways you can download its contents.
