Hi Lindy-Anne
We indeed have the mirror hosted at University of Pretoria. I am, myself,
unfortunately not in south Africa right now, and will only return end of next
week. If you contact me directly (and if it is still in time according to your
schedule) I'd be happy to help and writing the data to disk/DVD, for example.
You're welcome to contact me directly week after next.
Best,
Johan Joubert

Good day
I am looking to compare the datasets for South Africa from 2007 to 2011,
but I cannot download the full file with our internet connection. Is there
anyone who has the data so that I can copy the data?
Kind Regards

The University of Pretoria has a full mirror of the raw OSM xml planet
data available here: http://ftp.up.ac.za/mirrors/openstreetmap/
(including the massive "full history" planet)
It is worth trying to see if they would be willing to send the data
across. Maybe someone with an uncapped local Internet connection in
Cape Town could help?
I highly recommend first limiting yourself to smaller extracts. There
are 2 "poly" files available here for cutting/extracting out South
Africa: http://grant.dev.openstreetmap.org/tmp/za-poly/
The simplified version is a rough cut version, which keeps outside the
South African borders. Both polygon files ignore Prince Edward
Islands.
I have asked Peter K?rner, if he has a chance, to create a full
history South Africa extract.
Geofrabrik create regular South Africa extracts available here:
http://download.geofabrik.de/osm/africa/ (current items only, not full
history)
Keeping extracts current can be achieved using diffs... I have a very
simple script which uses osmosis to keep my South African extract of
the railway network current:

Kind regards
