I have been struggling to get a largish chunk of open street map covering an area from the Isles of Scilly in the south west to Bristol in the north east using commands like: wget -t 0 http://xapi.openstreetmap.org/api/xapi?map[bbox=-6.41,49.85,-1.68,51.56] -O souwest.osm
but all I can get is an error - 'connection reset by peer' or 'timeout' I also tried: wget -t 0 http://www.overpass-api.de/api/xapi?relation[bbox=-6,49.8,-1.0,51.6][natural=*] -O souwest-relation-natural.osm but this required dozens of individual transaction to get results osmosis refused to read. am I biting off more than the server can chew or using the wrong procedure? could some kind soul point me in the right direction mick _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
