	It is not possible to download a GR gedcom directly to the desktop. Instead do this: On the main menu bar select Family Tree ¦ Export GedCom The file will then be exported - usually < 24 hrs The Gedcom file will arrive as an email attachment using the email address that GR has for your account. Sometimes the mail client dumps it into the junk/spam folder. If there is a delay look for it there and set genesr. as not spam. Only text will be exported, nothing else. good luck N.B. I ran a test for my own tree ( 8000 records ). The gedcom file arrived after three hours.
