The fact that cities15000 is smaller than cities500 is both reasonable and normal. There are more cities with a population 500 or more than there are cities with a population of 15 000 or more. It is reasonable that the compressed versions of these file have the same relationship. On 4/2/2020 12:42 PM, DD8KQ wrote:

Seems to be an error with all of the cities zip files. Also, if you look at the size of the files, there was something strange, because cities15000 is smaller in size than cities500

Hi,

Have you got an error extracting cities*.zip files from http://download.geonames.org/export/dump/ since today ?

$ unzip cities15000.zip Archive:  cities15000.zip   End-of-central-directory signature not found.  Either this file is not   a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the   latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on   the last disk(s) of this archive. unzip:  cannot find zipfile directory in one of cities15000.zip or         cities15000.zip.zip, and cannot find cities15000.zip.ZIP, period.

So java (splitter) crash on this file… 😟
