This works fine, but with additional research on customizing DAG creation, we may improve deduplication and speed when doing range requests for specific bytes. There are different stages to explore here: if any of them sounds interesting to you, please comment in [distributed-wikipedia-mirror/issues/42](https://github.com/ipfs/distributed-wikipedia-mirror/issues/42). * Stage 1: Invest some time to benchmark parameter space to see if low hanging fruits exists. * Stage 2: Create a DAG builder that understands ZIM format and maximizes deduplication of image assets by representing them as sub-DAGs with dag-pb files. - * Stage 3: Research augmenting or replacing ZIM with [IPLD](https://ipld.io/).
