Can you describe in more details what happens? What exactly do you mean by "would not read"? Do you get an error message? Can you run from command line (launch X Terminal from Utilities, run "aarddict -d", try to open the third volume and check if you get any errors printed out in terminal).

BitTorrent is supposed to verify downloaded data, if your BitTorrent client says it's fine then it probably is fine. You can also verify integrity of a .aar file by running "aarddict --verify dictionary.aar" command (for a Wikipedia volume on the tablet it may take a while).

Either connect the tablet via USB or put SD card into card reader and then just copy the files. Third volume is just 1.2 Gb, if you can free up some space on the internal drive you should be able to put it there.
