When I downloaded it, it’s size is roughly 100KB even though the file size should be over 500MB. Anyway I tried to decompress the file, but it’s failed to do. Probably the file isn’t downloaded wholely. Except this data-set, the others can be downloaded and these work fine Is there another method to download file? I tried to by safari, chrome, and firefox. ---

I think the problem may be on your end. I download your extract #00003, decompressed it, and loaded it into Stata. The file appears complete, with no issues. . tab year [fweight=perwt] Census year | Freq. Percent Cum. ------------±---------------------------------- 2011 |309,231,245 100.00 100.00 ------------±---------------------------------- Total |309,231,245 100.00 I would suggest trying to re-download the file, or perhaps try using a different browser.
