Not enough storage available issue #1227

Closed EmmaMcCarthy-401 closed 1 month ago

EmmaMcCarthy-401 commented 1 month ago

I'm trying to download Wikipedia in my E: Drive and it had about 160gb of space left and the whole Wiki files were about 102gb. The download went normally uptill 89gb but later started showing Not enough storage available problem. How do I fix this? I have Kiwix version 2.3.1 on my Windows 11 OS.

For some reason the information about the progress of your download has been lost (otherwise the last column for the Wikipedia line shouldn't read "Download"). Pressing the "Download" button attempts to initiate a new download and obviously there is not enough room for it.

Can you please check the contents of your C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\kiwix directory (or C:\Users\USERNAME\kiwix, if the previous one doesn't exist)? Does it contain a file named kiwix.session? Also please look in your download directory on drive E: for a file name ending in ".aria2" (if no such file is there then your best option to complete the mysteriously interrupted download is via a bittorrent downloader).

Considering all the fixes brought o version 2.4.0, I would no recommend to invest too much time on this now.

Yes the kiwix folder does contain kiwix.session file and following are its contents: https://download.kiwix.org/zim/wikipedia/wikipedia_en_all_maxi_2024-01.zim.meta4 gid=366f8590a4370968 dir=E:\Wikipedia file-allocation=none allow-overwrite=true always-resume=true bt-enable-lpd=true follow-metalink=mem

& the download directory contains the file you mentioned. Here are the names of the files: wikipedia_en_all_maxi_2024-01.zim (101gb) wikipedia_en_all_maxi_2024-01.zim.aria2 (3.45kb)

What should I do now? Or how do I start the interrupted download using Bittorrent?

Note: The kiwix application is located in the E: drive.

So do you recommend to download the 2.4.0 version and restart the download? But there isn't any 2.4.0 version?

Based on these instructions you should follow these steps:

  1. Download the bittorrent file from https://download.kiwix.org/zim/wikipedia/wikipedia_en_all_maxi_2024-01.zim.torrent
  2. Start the bittorrent download using E:\Wikipedia as the target directory. Also make sure that the "Skip hash check" or equivalent checkbox in the torrent settings is disabled (or enabled if it rather reads something like "Perform hash check" instead)
  3. When the bittorrent download completes, you can additionally verify the integrity of the downloaded file by checking its SHA256 checksum against https://download.kiwix.org/zim/wikipedia/wikipedia_en_all_maxi_2024-01.zim.sha256

2.4.0 is in a pre-release stage, but even if it was already available I don't think that it would automatically resume the download.

This worked! Thank you so much! I can browse whole of Wikipedia offline now!
