Can you query other servers using your dict client? As for database sizes, I'm not sure it matters. The size of my compressed and uncompressed databases are the same: $ dict -I -h dict.kurtwerks.com dictd 1.9.7/rf on Linux 2.4.20 On dict.kurtwerks.com: up 19+23:20:38, 725 forks (1.5/hour) Database Headwords Index Data Uncompressed cia2002 272 5 kB 1468 kB 1468 kB devils 997 15 kB 161 kB 161 kB easton 3968 64 kB 1077 kB 1077 kB elements 130 2 kB 14 kB 14 kB foldoc 13258 255 kB 1978 kB 1978 kB gazetteer 52994 1087 kB 1754 kB 1754 kB gcide 200659 3801 kB 12 MB 12 MB hitchcock 2619 34 kB 33 kB 33 kB jargon 2374 42 kB 621 kB 621 kB vera 8930 101 kB 154 kB 154 kB web1913 185399 3438 kB 11 MB 11 MB wn 136975 2763 kB 8173 kB 8173 kB world95 277 5 kB 936 kB 936 kB Seems right to me.
