Sorry for my ignorance, the code you wrote, where do I write it in.
Thanks for your help.
Files ending in .tar.bz2 are compressed. You must first UNcompress them AND extract the files inside. Think of .tar.bz2 as a .zip or .rar file. The .bz2 extension means the file was compressed using the bzip2 algorithm. The .tar extension means that (possibly) a bunch of files and/or directories have been bundled into a single file using the tar program.

Soooo, use your favorite compression program (I like WinRAR, but it's not free, so try 7-zip) to uncompress/extract the files from the *.tar.bz2 file. THEN copy those files to the F:\stardict\dict\ directory. You will end up with a subdirectory which is the same as the name of the file you downloaded. In that subdirectory will be several files, which I listed in the "code" section in my previous post.
