Process engrampa dumped core, coredump file size on disk 1G.
Engrampa seems to trigger a segfault when giving me file listings of the the contents of the root folder, not even the "articles" directory.

file roller is next to bat, and I am able to list the /en/ directory within root, but I've been stuck loading the file listing for articles/ with a severe CPU bottleneck and 5GB of disk reads queued up in memory waiting to see Dr. CPU. No more I/O on the disk containing wikipedia for the past... 10 minutes? At least it isn't crashing? A slimegirl can hope.

So everything graphical uses tar wrong. And just doing it manually works, but I have to have enough disk space to extract the tar from within the 7zip archive as a result. Around 200GB before final extraction, just to get started.

English is like 247ish GB, but you need about twice that to actually extract any of it at all. Nothing can handle file listings this big.
