So here is the process : gunzip the tar.gz file. You gonna have a worldcitiespop.txt. Rename this file as a tar.gz. Gunzip (force if it's required) this file. You gonna obtain a worldcitiespop.tar file. Rename this file as a txt and here is it! Hi, I found the solution : the file is twice zipped (tar.gz), but in the wrong way.

Does the file double compressed or database bytecode? How to import this new version? Thanks, Hi,

In fact, when I extract the txt from the tar.gz, my txt content seems to be bytecode. So, when I import it, the content of my database is unreadable. I also sent an email and a posted a question on maxmind forum, but no answer. I know that it looks newbee, but anybody could help me? Thanks, Hi,

It is important to stay realistic about the locations that users are going to be looking for. When I was looking for a decent database of world cities for my web project, I tried using all of the free city databases out there. I even paid for a couple of them. But none of them satisfied me. They either had too much useless information (like longitudes, administrative subdivisions for tiny countries, or thousands and thousands of entries for small countries) or too little. This is why I decided to create my own database. After that was done I decided to share the results of my work with the world. I offer my database both in Excel and SQL formats. It has over 40,000 of U.S. cities and a total of over 70,000 cities. To me it is the perfect balance between completeness and usefulness. And you can't go wrong with a database that only costs $4.99! If you are interested, visit http://worldcitiesdatabase.info and see if my database is right for you.
