Hi Nick!

Your work around is great and working for people! Thank you very much!

Pierre Giraud, just put a hotfix on the Tasking Manager to make your
solution easier. This is live now.

The link to the .gpx file now shows up on the iD Editor menu
selection, you do not need to try josm and have it fail. Just go back
to the page and dowload the .gpx file from the iD Editor selected
dialog.

A screenshot is attached to make it more clear.

Thank you again Nick and Pierre!

Respectfully,
Blake
