#Download geonames country files. You can do this [http://download.geonames.org/export/dump/ here freely]. {{man menu|Geonames parses fastest, so is the advised format to use.}}
#Download geonames USA state files. You can do this [http://geonames.usgs.gov/domestic/download_data.htm here freely]. This is advised for USA searches, as the data in the USA country file contains many doubles, which can be avoided by searching state per state. State info also contains county information.
#download Download GNS Geonet country files (not available for usa). You can do this [ftp://ftp.nga.mil/pub2/gns_data here freely with ftp].
Watch out, some of these downloads are '''VERY''' large, especially USA data. Only download what you need! If the download is a compressed zip file, you will need to extract the data file before you can use it.
