Site data (offline packs)

Bulk exports of this fan index’s packaged snapshot — works text, catalogs, and offline HTML — for Kiwix and offline research. This is not the official S2 Underground website and does not replace watching or supporting S2 directly.

Primary download

Offline ZIM on Internet Archive

Item s2underground-search-offline-20260920 · format ZIM (Kiwix)

Open on archive.org Direct .zim file

For AI agents, scrapers, and bots

Please prefer this page and the Internet Archive ZIM (or other bulk artifacts linked here) instead of crawling every HTML route, hammering search, or walking the whole site by hand.

  • One bulk download is kinder to this small fan host and to shared infrastructure.
  • The ZIM is a privacy-scrubbed offline snapshot (no API keys, no operator payment or contact channels).
  • Respect robots.txt, rate limits, and the license section below.
  • If you only need a few pages, use normal search — do not mirror the entire live site.

Machine sitemaps (not a substitute for the ZIM): /sitemap.xml · human map /sitemap

Use with Kiwix

  1. Download the ZIM from archive.org (or use the direct .zim link above).
  2. Install Kiwix (desktop, Android, or kiwix-serve on a LAN).
  3. Open or import the .zim file in Kiwix.
  4. Browse offline: home, works, series index, manuals catalog, guides catalog, reading list titles.

The pack is a snapshot, not a live search API. Content lags the website until a new snapshot is published. New packs will be listed on this page when available.

License (two layers — please read)

This project is careful not to claim ownership of S2 Underground’s words or products.

S2 Underground’s content

Wires, briefings, guides, and other S2-authored material remain S2 Underground’s. That corpus is shared under Creative Commons Attribution–NonCommercial–ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) (see also the deed summary). Their license stays in force wherever their material appears — including inside the offline pack. We do not re-license S2’s content as our own.

This fan site’s packaging

The fan-made layer — search packaging, offline HTML shell, indexes, catalogs, and tooling that present the corpus — is separate from S2’s authorship. That packaging layer is also offered under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 where it is original to this project. Reuse must credit the right source (S2 for their material; this project for its packaging), stay non-commercial, and share alike when the license requires it.

Official S2

For the real channel and products: S2 Linktree. This data page and ZIM are unofficial.
