I downloaded the wikipedia via torrent, but my SD card did not have enough room to install the encyclopedias, so I accessed them via a USB drive in USB Host mode. However, Aardict would not read the third part of the Wikipedia. I suspect my download was corrupted for that file--it would be a pain to have to do the download again, but I guess I'll have to.

QUESTION: How have other people installed the wikipedia files to their SD cards? I flashed the OS to the SD card and now it is inaccessible by USB (as far as networking; USB host mode would still work). I only have room for one or two of the files left on my 8 GB SD card. I can't copy the files to the internal flash card because it only has 2 GB of space. When I tried to copy over from the USB drive, the copy never completed because the USB connection got lost at the beginning of the process--I suppose that the process of copying large files overwhelms the amount of power that the tablet puts out through the microUSB port (I was using a Patriot XPorter which is a speedy drive, so I'm pretty sure it wasn't a speed issue).

Other alternatives for transferring large files?
-via FTP from the desktop
-via USB using a powered port or external hard drive

Any other ideas?
