Oh well, GitHub can be tricky sometimes :)
(I think this is the direct link to download the zip of the two files:
https://github.com/szabgab/ladino-diksionaryo-generated/suites/6938585306/artifacts/270273527
)

Manually:
Visit the project repo:
https://github.com/szabgab/ladino-diksionaryo-generated/
click on "Actions"
then on the job that created the artifact (in this case it is called CI)
There you'll have the artifacts of the project
e.g. This is the direct link to a recent build
https://github.com/szabgab/ladino-diksionaryo-generated/actions/runs/2500028854

If you now click on "hunspell" it will download the two files in a zip.

AFAIK the artifacts are removed after a few weeks so these links will be
gone, but the desription above should still work.

Thanks. And yeah, the ladino version of vikipedia is quite bad - as I am
told - as it is written mostly by spanish speakers
who include a lot of words from modern spanish instead of using Ladino.
That's another project to work on to fix that :)
