Well I have switched to offline Stackoverflow, Wikipedia and Khan academy, all my media from no js torrent site and all news sites blocked with stay focused. Lets see you beat that :p

I never heard of a Stackoverflow offering a full download. Is this the link you used? https://archive.org/details/stackexchange

How is one supposed to browse these files once un-zipped? I will be honest and admit I am ignorant to XML and had trouble finding a solution after some quick googling. Any help would be appreciated.

Not exactly sure. That is why I asked if @hu87 downloaded from a different / better formatted source.

Hu80 linked to what he uses. http://www.kiwix.org/. Not sure if you will get a notification or not since he replied to my comment.

Cool thanks for the reply. If you find something better and get a chance, let me know, I'd be very appreciative. I'll take a look this evening and let you know if I find anything.

Kiwix.org

Code for all platforms available on github.

Thank you!

I use kiwix-js

Where do people obtain offline copies of stackoverflow ?

Check out kiwix.org they have all the dumps and readers. Even full text search works for many archives
