DICT alternatives

I've always found the command line DICT client, dict, very useful but dict.org seems to be down today so I can no longer use the command line client to look up a word. I used to always run dictd to avoid using the 'net to look up meanings of words but complications arose with that well over a year ago which meant it stopped being useful. Damn shame as I vastly prefer it to the spam-advert-crap ridden online dictionaries.

Any commandline alternatives to be recommended or anyone know what's going on or ways to get dictd running?

IIRC some of the dictionaries got 404 errors when trying to install them.
