I am trying to put together the 50m uk DEM e.g. 
https://www.data.gov.uk/dataset/835cf20a-8feb-4394-8b30-dcfe840ac13d/os-terrain-50-dtm
 but it often does not work.  The data are supplied as thousands of small tiles 
that takes ages to unpack and put into a folder to get into qgis, however when 
you try to load the tiles some work and others don’t and even the ones that do 
work and display fine sometimes don’t merge to form large tiles and sometimes 
will form virtual rasters but not merged files.  Basically it is a mess.  I 
suspect others have done this successfully so any suggestions?
It is particularly odd that some of the tiles will merge and others won’t and 
that some won’t display if you ask it to load hundreds at a time but if you 
just add them in a few at a time then they will load and display (in addition 
to the hundreds already loaded). This suggests various bugs assuming the 
original data are not in a whole variety of slightly different formats (should 
all be .asc)
