An alternative is to use Maperitive and render on the local PC. Its just a matter of using the right rules for rendering but you do need an .OSM file from the web unless you have a local copy.<br><br>Cheerio John<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Yeah. Also, as Toby says, it's pretty much "totally overloaded", and<br>
has been for the last few months.<br>
<br>
What's happened recently was that the updates broke for a few weeks,<br>
and were restarted last Wednesday. The disk cache then filled up<br>
completely on Friday, so there was only a small window for the tiles<br>
to be re-rendered. Space was freed up on Monday, and then rendering<br>
was stopped again on Wednesday for the next scheduled update. I<br>
estimate it would take about 10-12 days to update all the tiles, and<br>
there simply hasn't been very many days in the last week where the<br>
system has been updating - and because it wasn't updating for three<br>
weeks before that, some tiles are seriously out of date. They should<br>
sort themselves out, over the next week or so.<br>
<br>
As for the new server that's being mentioned, that's being set up at<br>
the moment. New host, new hardware, new software (mainly newer<br>
versions of mapnik and osm2pgsql). Unfortunately it's not as fast as<br>
I'd hoped, and I'm seriously concerned about whether it'll be able to<br>
take the load! Running osm2pgsql in slim mode is soaking up much of<br>
the hardware improvements. We'll see how it goes, but I'm confident<br>
the whole thing is moving in the right direction.<br>
<br>
It starts coming down to questions of time and money, and I only have<br>
a limited supply of both :-)<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
