You could point them here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Downloading_data

I think what is really missing are some short explanations, e.g. that
the export tab is using ressources on the server and therefore only
small areas can be downloaded and that there are alternative
downloading options (and then point them to the wiki page above).

It is all stuff that might seem obvious to you and to most people
involved in OSM and maybe also for CS-people not so involved in
general, but it isn't for someone occasionally looking at our page and
clicking on the export tab.

cheers,
Martin
