How big is the file that is downloaded?

I started to download it, using Brian’s suggestions,

but then became concerned that I would get a file larger than I want.

Grace, I noticed a couple of messages ago that you were having problems downloading Baetke's dictionary, so I gave it a shot myself. I think I ran into the same problem as you on my usual browser (safari), the page after clicking "Download beginnen" would simply not load. But it gave no indication that the load was failed. It kept indicating that it was still downloading. So I tried it on Firefox, and there it showed a progress bar, so I kept the download open and it took at least 2 hours, but eventually, it downloaded. I'm not sure what browser you're using, but I think that it just might take a while on some. Maybe if you kept the page open all night, it would be ready in the morning.

Hope this helps.
