Kiwix not reading most recent zim file

[ghost]

I have windows 10 OS and downloaded the most recent versions of kiwix and also of the Wikipedia zim file that has pictures and no videos (around 70-80GB). I have tried opening the zim file but it just says that is can not open and asks whether I'm sure if it is a zim file. The Wikipedia zim was downloaded through utorrent, so I wouldn't think it would be corrupted. Get back to me if you need any more information.

I just downloaded the nopic version, only about 20GB and it works fine. There is something wrong with the picture version only.

@Kelgot Can you please try the development version of our new version of Kiwix-Desktop? https://download.kiwix.org/nightly/2018-08-03/kiwix-desktop_2018-08-03.zip

Sorry for late response, but I tried it and it also does not work.

@Kelgot

• What is the exact filename of your ZIM file
• What is his md5sum?
• What is the error generated by Kiwix-Desktop 2.0 (the one I have given to you in the URL)?

The name of the working no pic zim file is (wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2017-08) and the broken zim file with pictures is called (wikipedia_en_all_novid_2018-06).

I did some research on how to check this MD5 so I hope these are the right sequences. The MD5 sum for the working file is (410325853096a6b6f4a55d3cf52aac23) and the MD5 sum for the broken file is (1535c280f1da512fe79a8c7f8ce0368c). Those took about 10 minutes to check because of the file size.

The error generated is "Cannot open H:/Kiwix/data/wikipedia_en_all_novid_2018-06.zim: error 132 opening file "H:/Kiwix/data/wikipedia_en_all_novid_2018-06.zim"
