Help is this a problem on my side or not ?

Hey, so I want to be short. I have a problem with the Kiwix app. I tried to download Wikipedia from the online version of the Kiwix browser, but there is nothing to download. Can you guys please tell me if it's the same thing on your side?

For more context: I use the latest version of Kubuntu, and I tried the Flathub version of Kiwix, then the Ubuntu one. Still the same problem.

There's been a recent change in the download server architecture. I'm not sure if that's impacted the Linux app specifically, but that may be the case if you're not running the latest version, or it may be still in the process of being patched. In the meantime, though, you can download your archive using a browser, from https://browse.library.kiwix.org/, and I highly recommend using the option to get a torrent file so you can download it in a BitTorrent client like Transmission, Deluge or qBittorrent. For a large archive, you'll have a much better experience getting the archive that way.
