There is an app called Kiwix if you use Linux (I think it’s a flatpak) or WSL for Windows! :) It lets you download different languages and sizes. I just learned you can use graphical apps for WSL now, wew.
Could I use this to set a monthly job that runs and updates my local copy? Does it download/update changes made since my last sync or would it just redownload and replace the previous months in this situation?
downloaded a backup yesterday
everyone with sense and 160GB should do the same
Just 160gb? I will get a USB and back up the whole thing.
25ish for your language of choice, 130 something for media files
very manageable, grab that copy
How?

It doesn’t work like that (yet), but it is the easiest way to keep an offline copy. They have more info about this here: https://kiwix.org/en/frequently-asked-questions/
Thanks! Finishing up the work day but will take a closer look soon
There’s an article here on how to utilize Wikipedia offline, and you can look under the “Where do I get the dumps?” section for links to downloads.
