I never heard of a Stackoverflow offering a full download. Is this the link you used? https://archive.org/details/stackexchange

How is one supposed to browse these files once un-zipped? I will be honest and admit I am ignorant to XML and had trouble finding a solution after some quick googling. Any help would be appreciated.

Not exactly sure. That is why I asked if @hu87 downloaded from a different / better formatted source.

Hu80 linked to what he uses. http://www.kiwix.org/. Not sure if you will get a notification or not since he replied to my comment.
