I have been using Qgis 1.8 for a couple of years and have decided that it is time to upgrade. I have installed Qgis 2.2 on my Windows 7 laptop and I can no longer use OpenStreetMap.
By now, QGIS 2.4 is current. The Openstreetmap plugin of QGIS 1.8 did not work lately, so it was completely refurnished. As a consequence, older projects with OSM data will not work anymore, you have to add OSM manually again.
I opened a project I made using Qgis 1.8 and the street map layer was no longer there. I then opened the OpenStreetMap (Vector --> OpenStreetMap --> Download Data) in Qgis 2.2, left the defaults alone, and clicked on the "OK" button. I received the following error message: "Cannot open output file:"
The download area is dependent on the current canvas extent. If that was the world, the data provider (Overpass API) will reject your request.
Try with a smaller area of interest, or use a postgis database of your country filled with a Geofabrik extract via osm2pgsql, or use the Openlayers plugin with an Openstreetmap background. This is always available, independent from the size of the area of your interest.
P.S. I also could not use OpenStreetMap with Qgis 2.4 so I uninstalled it and tried Qgis 2.2 with the hope that it would not be a problem in an older version. No such luck!
No, between 2.4 and 2.2 was no big change in the OSM plugin. The Openlayers plugin, however, had to be changed at that point.
