Tried to download the English Wikipedia on 5 different machines with 3 different connections (fiber optics, cable, dsl); all freezes at 1.8 gig. As it stands now, Okawix is a waste of time.

I've just tried the Okawix. It's a bear (bare?) of an interface. If you hose up on your install, the install screen does not pop back up when you activate Okawix again. I'm going to look around the web to see if I'm missing something, or I have to uninstall, wipe out the Roaming subdirectory, and than re-install in order to install updated versions of Wikipedia.
