The hips.tar.gz file is set up that you would do the following:
cd /
sudo tar zxvf hips.tar.gz
This would end up with the NorderX directories in the /usr/share/kstars/HIPS folder, which is a more standard location for the kstars systemwide (in that they're available read-only for all users on a system, rather than having them in your home folder.
Then you would just point kstars to look at the /usr/share/kstars/HIPS in the dialog that you screenshotted.
You don't have to change what you've done, I'm just explaining why they have the /usr/share/kstars path prefix in the tar file.

Sources contains a list of alternative sky maps from a large assortment of sky surveys. Many are somewhat interesting to look at, but DSS is the most practical use for framing.
Tracker says 2 peers indeed... but no download activity. Must be a problem with my settings. Although Torrent for Norder1-4 worked flawlessly 30 min ago.
Will restart my PC and see if that helps, but thanks for seeding anyhow.
Dear all
Any one try to install the offline files to Windows folder?
I tried, and pointed the directory to the parent folder in Windows that contains the Norder1, Norder2, etc. But it does not work. See attached screen.
