Mirror finally finished, 3.2 gigs in size uncompressed.
Ah... can't use the search bar unfortunately, it keeps trying to connect to the actual wiki for that. I dunno how to fix that... but the links all work. I'll poke around and see if i can make that smaller by removing some of the crap it downloaded with it... It downloaded as much as it can from EVERY site that links to the wiki. So hopefully i can trim the fat and leave the steak.


EDIT:

Alright, looks like i can remove everything that isn't magmawiki.com and it still works fine. Anything that links out will NOT work however.

Oh, and I do not know how others are going to view this thing, i used WebHTTrack for mirroring and viewing, I'll do some testing though.

EDIT2:

Sweet, you can just path to it like a file in your browser.

"random page" doesn't work either, still attempts online interaction.

So link navigation works, you can view everything as long as you know how to navigate through the site's links to it. You cannot search OR use Random Page.

Trimming the crap makes it 1.4 gigs uncompressed, compressing now.


EDIT3:

Compressing puts it at 291.4 megs! I'm gonna try uploading somewhere... hang on.

EDIT999999:
DFFD is out, 100mb limit.
Rapidshare is a greenlight, about 2 hours to upload.

*A few uncomprehending blinks, followed by a jaw falling through the floor...*

And it's STILL over 200 megs? Anyways, special exceptions have been made before. I'm sure if you contacted him, the dude who runs DFFD would let you upload the file.

Well, without actually doing much looking into it, you might want to look here.
