<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Hi Claire,<br><br>I imagine the HOT-export server has a full disk again, this has been causing problems for a while now; Harry has been clearing space, but it's just filling up again.<br>
<br>
</div>
As for other sources of DRC data, there is regular dumps provided elsewhere by Geofabrik:<br><br><a href="http://download.geofabrik.de/africa/congo-democratic-republic.html" target="_blank">http://download.geofabrik.de/africa/congo-democratic-republic.html</a><br>
<br></div>There are no shape files available, but you could presumably import the data into QGIS and export the files you wanted from there. It's not an ideal situation, not least because you were originally dealing with a relatively small area and the proposed work-around involves downloading the entire country, but it might get you out of a bind.<br>
<br></div>Best, Joseph<br><br><br>
