File Download Manager

It is suggested that a Download Manager is used to support downloading of census geography products. It is a tool that facilitates file download from the Internet. These tools are particularly useful when working with large files (such as geography spatial files) by managing the download process and managing occurrences of broken download sessions. This saves you needing to restart the download.

If you do not have a Download Manager, use an Internet search engine to search 'file download manager' to discover a range of tools, both free and charged for.

Keep me informed

You can sign up for prospectus email alerts. These will be sent out every time the census geography prospectus content is updated. We will not use/share your details which will only be used to inform you of geography products and management of these in line with the ONS MailChimp statement.
