Re: [Talk-us] New MapRoulette now in early public beta

[Martijn van Exel]

Thanks Steven.
Interesting those TIGER deserts still around, isn’t it. I found quite a few 
myself. On Slack we have been discussing how to specifically detect them in a 
way that could make them into good MapRoulette challenges. If you have any 
ideas on how that could be accomplished let me know!

Re: [Talk-us] Tile cache issue?

I suspect that for whatever reason (server move related perhaps?) it 
just got missed.  As viewed from the UK a /dirty worked OK, so just 
working as per 
http://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/178/how-often-does-the-main-mapnik-map-get-updated/183 
I suspect?

[Talk-us] Tile cache issue?

[Kevin Kenny]

On the main server with the default layer, I notice that

http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/42.6437/-74.0033

has paths that abruptly disappear at a tile boundary.

When I zoom in to level 17, or out to level 14, the paths appear
again, but levels 15 and 16 don't show them.

I've tried Shift+Refresh, and I've tried retrieving the images with
/dirty postpended to the URL, and it doesn't seem to help.

I understand that tile generation isn't instantaneous, but I'd have
thought that 2.5 weeks would have been enough to see the updates from
adding the paths. Am I misunderstanding something badly, am I just too
impatient, or is there a caching problem somewhere?

[Talk-us] How to get open street maps

[David Niklas]

Hello,
I downloaded the maps, but they changed over night, so the md5 sums don't
match up. I tried using rsync -cav to ftp.spline.de, but the connection
times out "[Receiver] io timeout after 181 seconds -- exiting" (return
code 30) I know that the port is accessible because I used nmap on it. I
tried passing the --timeout flags but that made no difference. What could
I do? I can't download that much data from scratch and a subset of the
world cannot be resynced with the master?
