Hi Markus,

The usual structure of files, with Taxon.tsv as the main one, is not in 
this download, and this new file looks quite a bit smaller, suspiciously 
so.  Is this as expected?

-rw-r--r-- 1 xxx xxx 1.3G Aug 17 21:41 20230817/Taxon.tsv
-rw-r--r-- 1 xxx xxx 1.3G Sep 14 15:47 20230914/Taxon.tsv
-rw-r--r-- 1 xxx xxx 325M Nov 24 12:25 20231124/dataset-278910.tsv

(files as always from https://download.checklistbank.org/col/ )

Thank you,

Erikjan Rijkers
