database +check

  I think I closed the application by accident before downloading in entirety the en.wiki.articles (54gb).  The app still opens to browse what I did downloaded, but the files in my collection round to about 41gb when checking properties instead of the stated 54gb of the en.wikipedia.articles-Sept09-17.

Is there a way to check for missing files or do I need to do that manually?

Currently it says I'm importing what I downloaded yesterday, (what I thought was the missing 13) by having downloaded the latest articles. And it has been importing for 8 hours. Two seperate issues I know.

Just think I kinda borked it, but I'm still having some fun running around in the app looking up topics and exploring stuff I didn't know, and checking edits I made years ago. And it still works. Am just wondering if there's a way to check or finish the downloads if I've closed the application.

Hi! Thanks for trying out XOWA!

You can manually download the file. See http://xowa.org/home/wiki/Wiki_setup/English_wikis.html#en.wikipedia.org . If you're downloading 2017-09, then go directly to the source at https://archive.org/download/Xowa_enwiki_latest . You want to download files with 2017-09 in them.

If you want to try to resolve the stuck downloads, you can try restarting XOWA and then going back and hit the Run button. If it's still stuck, let me know which file, and what the progress message.

Hope this helps. Thanks!
