The most convenient method of downloading NBIA data is by using the Downloader. You must install the Downloader before you begin downloading data.
However, if you cannot download the application, the alternative is to use the Temporary Downloader, a Java Network Launch Protocol (JNLP) file previously called the NBIA Download Manager.
The Temporary Downloader allows you to replicate items in your Data Basket, downloading them to your local machine. It is a Java program and requires that you install a Java Runtime Environment (JRETM) on your machine to run it. You can download the JRE. The Temporary Downloader does not limit the total size of the download.
You must have version 8 or higher of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed to be able to open the Download Manager.
