Currently I'm chatting to a group of opendata people. Terribly enthusiastic people but they don't seem to be looking at the entire picture. One downloads a file called new planet.osm from http://planet.openstreetmap.org/and complains because its "8 gigs of compressed data (uncompressed they're over 120GB). Then it takes a couple of hours to uncompress and process the file." Since he is only interested in Ottawa I suspect there should be a way to just download Ottawa rather than the entire planet which is what I think he is doing at the moment.
Any suggestions? Thanks John
