That is already one of the dictionaries I am using. Just to make sure, I deleted my existing files for that dictionary, downloaded again from the above link, extracted the files and copied them to my N900. And it works fine.

I have a 'Data' folder which does show in PC Suite but does not show up in the N900 File Manager.
I don't use PC Suite so don't know which N900 directory it exposes to PC Suite. But if you connect N900 as mass storage then what you see is
"/home/user/MyDocs/"


This also means that in QStarDict you cannot choose a MyDocs folder as it lists a Documents folder........ Confused? I am.
When you add a path for dictionary in qstardict and you click on "internal memory" you will start off in "/home/user/MyDocs/", you should probably then click "New" and create a directory to store your dictionaries.

Note if you plan on installing and using mstardict as well then you should put your dictionaries in "/home/user/MyDocs/mstardict". This way both qstardict and mstardict can share the same dictionaries since mstardict expects its dictionaries in that location and cannot be changed.
