why doesn't my complete tree download?

when I downloaded a gedcom of my tree it had alot of ancestors missing on one side, and missed about 15 generations on another side.
is there a size limit to what gets downloaded?
I find it easier to keep a backup tree on pc to add names before verifying and putting them on Wikitree and needed to update what I have but over 200 names were missing.

Hi Steve,
They're definitely in your Watchlist, not just your family tree, right? If you give me some examples of profiles on your Watchlist (WikiTree ID) I can try to export a file as you and see what might have gone wrong.

I looked at Steve's Gilfoyles a bit and noticed that some are unconnected. That is, they show no parents, spouses, children; so they wouldn't be connected to anyone in a tree. I thought this might be part of the problem but wasn't sure.
thanks for your offer chris but I've found out that the 3 programs I tried for my pc weren't capable of doing a thorough job. I tried again using myheritage and it found all names I have here, but unfortunately I won't be sticking with that site as some of the features need a subscription to their site. I'll have to search the net for a better free downloadable program to store and sort my info. I think Wikitree is a great site for family information and don't want to mess up a tree others could need by putting in a profile I haven't checked out at least twice from different sources.
Steve, try here:
https://www.familysearch.org/products
I use Personal Ancestral file, mostly because I'm used to it and am too lazy to switch. :-) But I've also downloaded Legacy Family Tree and it looks more comprehensive and has a more modern user interface. Both are free.
