Comments - Documentation

I would like to second a request for an alternative, non-online version of the documentation. For me, I don't care if the documentation is PDF or available as a downloadable HTML bundle. The reason is that in order to use the online version you must be just that; online. In a number of rural areas (such as where I live) access to high-speed internet, affordable or not, is limited or even non-existant. My plan is to use MariaDB in my house on my local LAN, but without internet access at home it is problematic to set up and manage the server.

wget() is your friend!

You can download the entire document tree using wget().

Thanks. I was able to do the download, however the download took about 6 hours and consisted of >16000 files for more than >500 MBytes. This was using the command line

wget --convert-links -r -l0 https://mariadb.com/kb/en/documentation/

I'm not experienced with wget, are you able to suggest a change to that command line so that I can avoid such a large download in the future?
