Download Popular Open Source Websites To Use Them Offline
Today, I have a wonderful news to all of you. Now, you can download
popular open source websites to view them without Internet. Yes! I have
stumbled upon a website called “RACHEL Offline” earlier
this morning and I am glad to inform you that this site allows you to
download all popular open source websites such as Wikipedia, TED Talks,
Khan Academy, Project Gutenburg, African storybook, Mediline plus,
Wikihow, Wikisource, Worldmap and much more. There is no charge or limit
to download these sites. You can download all of them and use them
without Internet in your Desktop, Laptop, Tablets and Smartphones.
How to download popular open source websites from Command line in Unix-like systems
Go to the Rachel modules download link given below. This link has all
the open source website’s contents. Just download your preferred
website with all its contents and use it without Internet. Cool, isn’t?
The recommended way to download them is to use rsync.
They have included the rsync command to download the website in the
respective download page. If you don’t know, how to download a website
using rsync, just click on the respective website, copy/paste the rsync
command in your Terminal. That’s it. It will download all the contents
of the website in a folder in your current working directory.
For example, to download the TED talks website, I entered the following command in my Terminal.
rsync -Pavz rsync://dev.worldpossible.org/rachelmods/en-TED ./
The reason why you should use rsync command is it can pick up where
it left off if there are any connection problems. So, you don’t have to
start over from the beginning. Rsync should already be installed on any Unix-like systems, such as GNU/Linux and Mac OS X. Windows users can get rsync using Cygwin.
Don’t like the commandline way? No problem! You can download them via
web or ftp. The download links are available on each module page. Just
copy the download link and throw it to the download manager.
Once you downloaded the website, go to the folder where you downloaded it, right click on the Index.html file and open it with your favorite browser. It’s simple as that.
Now, you can browse through the website without Internet as the way
you do while you have Internet. I have downloaded TED talks website and
watched few videos. I wouldn’t say it’s fantastic, but some of them are
useful! TED Talks website includes the lessons, speeches of popular
leaders, speakers, entrepreneurs, CEOs, and spiritual gurus etc.
Here is TED Talks website in action.
Also, you can download all the compressed modules from the link below.
