Hi vmabus:
I was able to successfully download & install the Spanish Wikipedia file from sdict.com. [So far I have only tested the Wikipedia file with the Windows client as I need to buy a higher capacity SD card to run it on my n800 - other downloads such as language dictionaries and the Merriam-Webster work fine on my n800: very speedy, I am impressed]

I also tried downloading the French and English versions, however had to give up after 3 or more 300 MB download attempts as they fail when my connection temporarily gets lost. [Cannot get a download manager to download it either - nor do they appear to support 'resume'.] So perhaps they are not busted as much as that we cannot get the full file downloaded. To that effect I posted in their forum and if necessary will private message them if I do not get a response in a few days.

Have been searching around including for bittorrents, but no luck so far.

I will let you know if I have any success.
