Years ago someone on a certain dedicated ereader fourm shared a fixed updated stardict version of the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary. This is of one of the rare holy grails of digital dictionary files, as you cant find a properly working version of this dict anywhere on the usual sites just one scuffed conversion version with broken formatting.
Unfortunately it was only available a very short time before a mod removed the links on the fourm for copyright infringement policy.
So now they are gone off the public internet for good AFAIK. Every now and then I see people in the fourms asking for links to these specific files.
I was fortunate enough to save everything the generous user shared while still available and still have them locally. I would like to make these files available and easily findable to anyone who wants them. Can you please give a newbie some guidance on how to best do this?
Edit: Heres the links to the files! Thanks to all the community members who gave feedback you are all awesome!!
@jatone@lemmy.dbzer0.com @madame_gaymes@programming.dev @Unreliable@lemmy.ml @Want2BeRocker@lemmy.dbzer0.com @Yingwu@lemmy.dbzer0.com I uploaded everything to the Internet Archive which also created a torrent file :) I greatly appreciate all the advice and interest in helping host/share these!

Thanks for sharing! I’ll try it out myself on KOReader :) Feel free to post on !ereader@lemmy.world as well
Thanks for uploading these, very handy!
Sick! Thanks for coming back around with the links. I was going to add to z-lib, but evidently they don’t hoard DICT files, oh well.
great!
