Yes no problems until you run into the throttling issue, which at some point your will
The thing is, they say you can do 2000 requests per day before you get cut off, but that's a lie, the throttling seems to be whenever they decide their servers are too busy, even if it's your first request.
And again, it's the fact that is unpredictable that makes it very hard to use it on large scale projects. Sometimes I can run it for a week without any issue and some others I can't get 1 day without a problem...
Will have a look at geonames.org as soon as I finish to write this
