It seems that the startRow attribute in "http://ws.geonames.org/search?" is limited to 5000. Is there any possibility to enhance this upto the maximum of the cities per country?

I want to list all cities per country but its impossible. Is there any way around?

Hi

There is indeed a restriction to protect our servers from being overloaded. With 50 rows per page this means 1000 pages and I don't think any human is going trough all these pages. Google for instance does not serve more than 1000 rows (100 pages).

We are running an additional server without these restrictions for users who help us share the cost for the servers. We can move you to the other server if you are interested.

Cheers
