[HOT] Currently issues with OSM servers

[john whelan]

Generically when databases are overloaded they sometimes work better in the
early morning or before noon GMT.  One technical reason is the log files
are shorter.  So if you've been working in JOSM just save the file then try
an upload early next morning.

This also works on overloaded internet connections the earlier in the day
you work the quieter it is.
