Nice, it would be nice to see what sort of traffic you make.


As for the OSMF-managed infrastructure, I'm a friend of keeping it
small. What I would love is for the export tab to provide some sort of
mechanism whereby various providers of extracts or derived data could
plug themselves in and announce their goods. So if someone zooms to
Washington DC and clicks on "export", they would see a list of available
files in various formats from various providers and could choose which
one to download. For a very small area you'd see "direct API download",
for a larger area maybe "Overpass API download", and even larger areas
would lead you to a pre-computed extract and so on.

That would keep maintenance down on the central infrastructure and
create a marketplace for derived data (a market where IMHO the currency
is attention, not money - even though it would even be thinkable in the
long run to allow providers of pay-per-use services onto the platform if
they give a cut to OSMF).

Having said that, if OSMF were to decide to run an extract service
themselves and use the same technology that I use for the Geofabrik
service (all open source plus a couple glue scripts) then I wouldn't
stand in their way!


Nice idea about export tab to provide links to extracts.

The shapefile portion of it is actually used less than the plain simple 
OSM extract. I'm working on adding statistics to the site as well.

Hi,

Thanks for the updated download service.

Just to let you know that my GE client didn't want to display 
brazil.kml. I had to change element name Multigeometry to MultiGeometry 
in order to make it work.

Hi,

I've made some updates to the download server at
download.geofabrik.de. You'll now get a map preview of the are you're
downloading, and if you have a very slow internet connection you will
value the fact that you can now expliticly download something like
europe-130310.osm.pbf instead of always using "-latest" - that way you
can be sure the file won't be removed from under your feet while you're
downloading it.

MD5 sums are now supported, as are regional daily diffs - it should now
be very easy to keep an updated extract for your region of interest
using just Osmosis and minimal daily downloads.

The URLs have changed slightly but redirects are in place so that old
links should still work:

* leading /openstreetmap/ has gone
* "-latest" introduced before file extension
* underscores replaced by hyphens

i.e. instead of

/openstreetmap/europe/great_britain.osm.pbf

it is now

/europe/great-britain-latest.osm.pbf

Are clip bounds (.poly) still available for download as one compressed 
file, clipbounds.tgz? I would like t get them all, and not download them 
individually one by one?

Frederik -

This is an awesome service. Should this or a similar shapefile export live
one day on openstreetmap.org/export ?

Thanks for providing this service, it's really handy to be able to grab
medium sized extracts without having to resort to downloading the entire
planet.

> You'll now get a map preview of the area you're downloading

One small suggestion: In areas with a lot of sub-regions (like Europe)
the map will scroll off the top of the page if you are looking for
something at the bottom of the list. Using position:fixed might be more
appropriate.

Cheers,

Andy
