Hi Peter,

By chance did you keep some of these KBO files (KboOpenData_xx.zip) ? I am trying to get them but unfortunately on the kbopub.economie.fgov.be official website only the last five months are available (currently from KboOpenData_0101_2022_07_Full.zip to KboOpenData_0105_2022_11_Full.zip).
