Hi kraemder,
I'm sorry to hear about your trouble. I really don't know why flashcards would download when creating a new deck, but not when updating an existing one. If you were still having the problem, I would be interested in seeing the error message you were getting, to see how helpful it was or was not. You could have also sent me your file and I can take a look.
Another thing you might have done is export your existing flashcards, including statistics. This would give you a backup of your current flashcards with their statistics data. I might have been easy then to add your 300 new sentences to the bottom (copied from your prior work) and then try adding that back as a new deck (will maintaining your statistics).
So one problem is, why didn't the error message guide you better to the problem? The other is, why does it seem like you could add as new deck but not update? In the future, I'd like to get involved to see if we can figure out, maybe with me trying also on my end.
One explanation might be that Dropbox was slow to refresh to their server after you making the fix, and it wasn't until just before you deleted and added the new deck that Dropbox finally got the update. Not sure.
