The file should be 1.8MB (1850788 bytes exactly) The file works for me, the example below was just done using Linux tools: $ wget http://tileserv.openstreetmap.org/osm2pgsql.zip --2009-07-12 14:19:13-- http://tileserv.openstreetmap.org/osm2pgsql.zip Resolving localhost... 127.0.0.1 Connecting to localhost|127.0.0.1|:3128... connected.

This is the default if --append is not specified. -d|--database The name of the PostgreSQL database to connect to (default: gis). -l|--latlong Store data in degrees of latitude & longitude. -m|--merc Store data in proper spherical mercator (default) -M|--oldmerc Store data in the legacy OSM mercator format -E|--proj num Use projection EPSG:num -u|--utf8-sanitize Repair bad UTF8 input data (present in planet dumps prior to August 2007). Adds about 10% overhead. -p|--prefix Prefix for table names (default planet_osm) -s|--slim Store temporary data in the database. This greatly reduces the RAM usage but is much slower. -S|--style Location of the style file. Defaults to ./default.style -C|--cache Only for slim mode: Use upto this many MB for caching nodes Default is 800 -U|--username Postgresql user name. -W|--password Force password prompt. -H|--host Database server hostname or socket location. -P|--port Database server port. -h|--help Help information. -v|--verbose Verbose output. Add -v to display supported projections. Use -E to access any espg projections (usually in /usr/share/proj/epsg) Jon _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
