Disinfo: Wikipedia DVD Released on BitTorrent

Ernesto, TorrentFreak: Today, the latest edition of the Wikipedia school edition has been released by SOS Children's Villages, a charity organization that aims to help orphans and vulnerable children worldwide. The 08/09 edition can be downloaded for free, via BitTorrent only, and comprises over 5500 hand-picked educational articles aimed at helping schools to enhance their curriculum.This year's Wikipedia edition for schools is the largest since the project started back in 2006. With 34,000 images and 20 million words, it is comparable to a twenty volume encyclopedia captured on a single DVD.Without a doubt, it is the most successful "checked content" project based on the English Wikipedia, used by hundreds of schools in first and third world countries. The project was originally aimed at schools in developing countries, but because of the high quality articles — all based around the UK curriculum with an absence of adult content — it is often used on intranets in first world schools too.
