works fine here, is this still an issue? could be a network problem rather on your side or at the dict.org.

We are closing this bug report as it lacks the information, described in the previous comments, we need to investigate the problem further. However, please reopen it if you can give us the missing information and don't hesitate to submit bug reports in the future.

This is happening in Maverick, Lucid, and Natty on my computers...

I may be able to supply information if I can. I am guessing the dict.org server is having problems.

Is there another server that is english that can be used while the dict.org server is down?

[Mathilda Young (gtrsdk)]

It is clearly a problem at dict.org because the dict.org sources fail to work but the ones not at dict.org works.
