I contacted Box.Net and they gave me the following link: <br />http://www.boxcn.net/pablopingrid/1/21051928/227855886<br />On that webpage you can initially only download the Pablo.exe file. That doesn't work due to Box.Net Security Restrictions. The way to do it is: click on the Pablo.exe file to download it, wait a bit, clcik on the back button in your browser. Now you will see you can also download the zip-files. Good luck.<br />Note: I had this problem downloading Pablo 2.5c, but now with the newer version, the same link also allows you to download Pablo 2.6c.Nicolashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02413954987684008613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4166700892366719834.post-24457477795842987772011-05-29T20:26:37.092+01:002011-05-29T20:26:37.092+01:00Dear Richard,

I've tried manually downloading the cedict dictionary from mdbg, but the data subfolder won't allow me to save the cedict file in it, and says I "need to get permission from the author/creator"! When I've tried to automatically download the dictionary through the Pablo program, I get an error message, and the file doesn't download.
