{{FAQ_entry|question=Where can I find new content?|answer=Kiwix uses the [http://openzim.org ZIM format]. We release [[{{ll|Wikipedia in all languages}}|our own ZIM files]] which are available for download in the Kiwix library (in the software). You can also use the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Book Book creator] on Wikipedia to generate your own ZIM files.}}
{{FAQ_entry|question=My ZIM file is too big, what should I do?|answer=USB flash drives and memory cards are often formatted using the FAT32 filesystem which can't store files bigger than 4GB. Kiwix is able to deal with 2GB splitted ZIM files. The split ZIM files must be named xxx.zimaa, xxx.zimab, xxx.zimacBetter use exFat, etc. To split a ZIM file you may use:* On Microsoft Windows: [http://www.fastfilejoiner.com/ FFSJ] or [http://www.hjsplit.org/ HJ-Split] (slower option); on Windows 10any modern filesystem, if and then you have [https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/p/ubuntu/9nblggh4msv6 Bash on Ubuntu] installed, you can use the GNU/Linux commands below.* On Apple Mac OS X: [http://loekjehe.home.xs4all.nl/Split&Concat/ Split&Concat]* On GNU/Linux in the console:<source lang="bash">split --bytes=2000M my_big_file.zim my_big_file.zim</source> You can also download a pre-split version of the will be able to store big ZIM file by downloading a pre-indexed/portable ZIP file and copy the chunks from the directory "data/content". To be readable by Kiwix, all chunks must be located in the same folder. Open then the xxx.zimaa file with Kiwixfiles.}}
{{FAQ_entry|question=Why is Kiwix not available for PPC Macs?|answer=We do not have a PPC architectured Mac and this architecture is outdated.}}
{{FAQ_entry|question=I have downloaded a ZIP file (pre-indexed ZIM file) but I can't unzip it, the file seems to be corrupted. What should I do?|answer=Use an unpacking software which supports the ZIP64 format (ZIP format for big files), like for example [http://www.7-zip.org/ 7-zip]. If this still fails, then your file was corrupted during the transfer, please restart the download using BitTorrent, then it will work.}}
{{FAQ_entry|question=How do I check the integrity of my ZIM file?|answer=You can retrieve the checksums for each file we serve online using this pattern: <source>kiwix-filename.zim.mirrorlist</source>, for exampleExample: <source>https://download.kiwix.org/zim/wikipedia/wikipedia_en_all_novid_2018-06.zim.mirrorlist</source>}}
{{FAQ_entry|question=I can't copy Kiwix on my USB flash drive because the index files (*.idx directory) are too big.|answer=USB flash drives are often formatted using the FAT32 filesystem which can't store files bigger than 4GB. We recommend to use [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExFAT exFAT] or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS NTFS] which can deal with big files and are broadly supported.}}
