How do I convert back to qb desktop from online

Hello there, @plearman.

I'll make sure you're QuickBooks Online data is converted to the desktop version, please follow the steps below.

To get started, let's review the export limitation process for your guidance. Once done, please use the Internet Explorer browser when exporting data to desktop:

1. Log in to your QuickBooks Online account. 
2. Go to the Gear icon.
3. Select Export Data. 
4. Click on Learn more in the Moving to QuickBooks Desktop?
5. Follow the instruction to export.

For more detailed steps about converting data is found in this article: Export your QuickBooks Online data to QuickBooks Desktop

Also, I've attached our help article where you can find more topics about setting up QuickBooks Desktop. Please check it out. 

Keep in touch if you need anything else. I'll be right here to help.

If the data file has more than 350,000 targets, the file will need to be SuperCondensed
first. It can then be converted to QBO.  
The SuperCondense service will shrink the size of your data file to almost 50-80% of
the original file size which boosts performance, offers stability, speed and keeps you
under the under the 14,500 name limit for Pro/Premier, helps you upgrade to new
versions of QuickBooks easier and also enables you to convert to QuickBooks Online
with ease.
Use a professional third-party conversion provider for a solution or PM me for more information.

I am having difficulty getting my file to convert. I downloaded the migration tool but keep stalling at this point. 

I have attempted to download another file but still the same result. Can anyone provide some insight?
