You can have a copy in case this happens in your country: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&amp;#x2F;wiki&amp;#x2F;Wikipedia:Database_download#Where_do_I_get_it.3F&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&amp;#x2F;wiki&amp;#x2F;Wikipedia:Database_download#Wh...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;Also, the Kiwix project has a hotspot project that allows you to host ZIM files (dumps of Wikipedia and other CC licensed content, like TED talks and StackOverflow) on a Raspberry Pi, allowing you to share it with others.
