Please note that speed of download relies upon your connection speed to the Internet.You have the facility to download individual documents, as well as a collection of documents by way of navigating to a document list (see viewing documents), or the search results document list page (see searching), or from the export basket (see exporting). Once you are at a document list view (as shown below), the document download function can be located by scrolling down to the bottom of the page.
First make your selection of the documents to download.
Current
page - choosing this option will download documents listed in
the current page. You also have the option to select the download file type of the documents.
Setting the download file format as either ‘zipped RTF’ or ‘zipped CSV’ makes for faster download time, but requires you to unzip the file so as to restore it to a proper RTF or CSV file format after download to then be able to open the document up into a word-processing application like Microsoft Word. Normally downloaded RTF or CSV files can be opened up directly into a word-processing application, but they have a slower download speed. A zipped RTF or CSV file will have the file extension '.gz'.
gz (Zip) Save File Format - Zipping is the process of reducing the overall size of a file for storage and/or transmission across the Internet. This has the advantage of faster download time compared to the full size fileand also saves disk space, but you need to unzip the file (i.e. restore it to its original size) to use the file. WinZip is an application for carrying out these types of operations.
