In case someone would like it, and would also like to make the d/l
much quicker, here are some local sites inside the country:

ftp://ftp.kuis.kyoto-u.ac.jp/misc/nihongo/dict.xjdic.tar.gz

ftp://ftp.huie.hokudai.ac.jp/pub/misc/nihongo/dict.xjdic.tar.gz

ftp://ftp.iij.ad.jp/pub/published/oreilly/nutshell/ujip/unix/xjdic.tar.Z

There are others, but these should suffice! It seems like most archive
sites are being mirrored in country nowadays, so we shouldn't need to
waste extra time on overseas connections.
