Try unzipping with WinRAR or some other authoritative extractor. I have found you can name the folder anything you want. Just keep all the extracted files, and be sure to put the folder that they are in, into the "dic" folder in the main folder you see when you connect your N900 to your computer via the USB cable. That should do it.

It's a lot more heat than light around here, for sure! But that's what we signed up for when we chose to be opensource smartphone pioneers, or didn't you remember!?!?!
It is really not necessary to involve any other computer than the N900 to install dictionaries. I've posted a step-by-step description over here:

The only possible complication from what the qstardict wiki tells you is that bz2 files can't be unzipped by tar on the fly. One has to unzip by "bunzip2" which is provided by the "bzip2" package in nokia-applications. It's just two lines in XTerminal per dictionary what you need.
