ADVANCED Downloading Ltd started trading in 1992, concentrating on difficult conversion tasks requiring reverse-engineering of data formats and bespoke programming. In June 2005 ADVANCED Downloading acquired A L Downloading's conversion assets and expertise.

Together, the two companies have built up a body of expertise that makes us a leader in our industry and provides our customers with the best solutions available for their needs.

What our clients say

“I am very pleased with everything your company did... I can't believe how quickly you converted so many VMS backup saveset tapes to Windows DVDs”

“...we have decided to go with you as your customer service so far has been impeccable.... thank you for converting our last batch of 3590E cartridges”

“… I have to say what a pleasure it has been to work with you, and I am most grateful for the time, care and attention you have given this project. We were unable to find a single company in the UK who could convert from our old Irwin tapes”

“Thank you for all the help rendered to us in the last minute as usual. I must say that the team at your company have been very accommodating and please do thank all of the people involved... It's difficult to find a bureau with staff who can write their own tools when confronted by something unusual, rather than just giving up when the usual off-the-shelf packages fail.”

“Your team really pulled out the stops and the client was elated with the result...an entire AS/400 business database converted over a weekend - we couldn't find anyone else who would even attempt it”

“I just wanted to express my sincere thanks for not only the quick turnaround, but also the excellent communications. 6500 DLT tapes degaussed in a week!”

“The CDs containing our converted data have just arrived in plenty of time and we are very happy with the results. Many thanks to you and your team for an excellent service”

“...a wonderful job well-done… we really weren't expecting our data back so quickly”

“...a real pleasure to do business with your company…no one else could guarantee to duplicate so many LTO tapes in the time period required”

“I am writing to say thank you for the job you did for me. People really appreciate the effort your company puts into recovering data, much of it irreplaceable...”

“…I very much appreciate the effort put in by your team, another job well done... the only bureau in Britain we could find who would convert 3570 catridges to AIT at a sensible price”

“Many thanks indeed to you and your company for the efficient service and prompt turnaround that you have provided converting our entire archive of DLT IV to LTO”
