Thanks for sharing! I'll try it out myself on KOReader :) Feel free to post on !ereader@lemmy.world as well
Thanks for uploading these, very handy!
Sick! Thanks for coming back around with the links. I was going to add to z-lib, but evidently they don't hoard DICT files, oh well.
great!
archive.org? usually when I'm looking for a expired file I search for the file name, and if it's on the internet archive it usually pops up on the first page of google.
Great suggestion, thank you.
This is the answer. It’s freely accessible, and duplicated across servers all over the world so it’s difficult for copyright claims to take down.
This is not a book, but files to use in some kind of dictionary-app. AA is not a place for these kind of files, I'm pretty sure they won't allow them over there.
Torrents and Archive.org are the best ways I think. A third option would be to also upload to Z-Library.
All 3 for maximum redundancy. If you get a torrent going and don't want to make a z-lib account, I can upload it there for you. Either way, I'd love to help you seed and spread all these datas.

Post the link to the community so we can mirror on other networks. Is it a specialist dictionary, or a regular dictionary whose formatting will change the way I look at life?
Thank you for the links! So im allowed to just post a magnet to them if i get the torrent up? Its my first time posting to the community not sure how detailed I am allowed to be, originally was gonna link to the fourm post for context. They are stardict versions of the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary (SOED).
You might just be convinced it will change your life by the way literature nerds on the internet talk about it lol. I think its a good balance between shorter more to the point descriptions while still containing lots of information. Maybe not life changing but a high quality dictionary that isnt a slog to read is always nice to have especially on ereader.
You can find good stardicts of just about every dictionary on the internet if you look hard enough except the SOED which is why it was a big deal to get a properly formatted not scuffed version of the dictionary in both mono and color.

I'm just amazed by this. Can you point me to some of the more common places where one could start? I could really use some new dictionaries 😁
What is this magical dictionary? I'm almost afraid to ask but, won't just about any dictionary do just fine?
If you end up posting it, let me know please!
Pls share link or file (I can dm you my telegram link) when it will be available
I'd be interested in snagging a copy from your smokey, I'm currently putting together system for collective sharing and archiving that im hoping to release in july.
Please put them on torrents
Uploading to the Internet Archive automatically creates torrents, right?
This was an excellent suggestion @Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com and was what I decided on doing. The auto torrent is a REALLY nice feature. I appreciate you taking the time to comment, thanks!
Really? First I've heard of it

I'm not sure if this is the case for every upload though
Please share the dictionary when available.
