Normal download works fine for me, but then again I don't try to grab entire categories!

Forgot to add in my excitement at it finally actually working, tried both in single and combined and using link, and worked fine, I have always used link anyawy it was the only it worked within the 20-23 barrier.

I still don't understand, there aren't 20 sub-categories in the supermarkets category? Even so I cannot think of a valid reason why you would choose to download all 20 of them?

For me certaInly the Main point is that it now appears to be working ok although under IE8

How about splitting the POI categories into separate downloads once there sub cats for any single category reaches a count of 20, so there would be a number of headings each containing up to 20 sob cats, a part a, part b, part c etc this would make life easier for heavy users and simplify the job of using POIEdit to concatenate into one single file - Mike

Update,
Can now download all categories as single files in one go and fuel as combined category, problem with accom but this does not unduly concern me, have to agree shouldnt be need to download combined multiple categories, I am now happy with downloads, never been able to download so many

I had trouble with corrupt files etc when I first started using the POI, I tried to download everything in every category and then wondered why most of it wasnt showing up on the map! By simply downloading only the sub-categories I needed and ticking the 'show link' box all is fine now for me. Be patient - even if it goes pear shaped with IE8 - you wont find a better database on the net.
