I see from this page only one tool (not a couple) which is available to download and use: http://www.tommasoconforti.com/ the home of Wiki2static Wiki2static (version 0.61, 02th Aug 2004) http://www.tommasoconforti.com/wiki/wiki2static.tar.gz is a Perl script to convert a Wikipedia SQL dump into an html tree suitable for offline browsing or CD distribution. I failed to find any documentation, so was forced to play directly with the script settings myself: $main_prefix = "u:/WikiMedia-Static-HTML/"; $wiki_language = "pl"; and running (in the current directory of the script): \> wiki2static.pl Q:\WikiMedia-MySQL-Dump\pl\20040727_cur_table.sql to test the script on a file with small (112 MByte) size of the SQL dump . The script is running now for over half an hour and has created yet 1.555 folders and generated 527 files with a total size of 6 MBytes consuming only 16 seconds of CPU time. I estimate the time until the script is ready to appr. 6 hours for a 100 MByte file, which gives 120 hours for a 2 GByte file of the english dump ... Any further hints? What am I doing wrong? (There are now 1.627 folders and 1.307 files with a total size of 15.6 MB after one hour runtime and consumption of 20 seconds CPU time even if I increased the priority of the process to high on my W2K box running perl 5.8.3 half an hour ago) Claudio P.S. >> I loaded all of the Wikipedia data into a local MySQL server a while >> back without any problems. What was the size of the dump file imported to the MySQL database? Importing only the current version which was "a while back" smaller than 2 GByte (skipping the history dump) causes no problems with MySQL.
