Yes, I have Artha as a stand-alone one.  You can get it off the distros 
as well, and I believe there is a Windows version as well.

But if you need one to be used in LibreOffice, my set of English 
dictionaries have one that has over 140,000 word/phrase listings to get 
a result from.  All you have to do is download and install one of my 
American English, British English, or Canadian English, .oxt files and 
install it through the Extension Manager.

You can get them at the Extension Center 
http://extensions.libreoffice.org/ and look for the Dictionaries for any 
version.  Or you can go to my portal and download them from there. 
http://libreoffice-na.us/English-3.4-installs/dictionary.html#english  
They start with "kpp" in the dictionary file list.  There are a total of 
11 dictionaries to choose from.  All you have to do is choose the 
version of English [American, British, or Canadian], and choose the 
spelling word list count size [98K, 217K, 390K, and 638K words in the 
list].  You can install all of them, but only keep one of each English 
version enabled at a time.  Hopefully, soon I will be uploading an 
update with about 1K of computer technical words and terms that were 
missing from these word lists.  I have been busy so I will need a bit of 
time to make the updates available online in the Extension Center and my 
portal.
