[OSM-newbies] What do I need

[Dimitri Junker]

Hi,

>I use EasyGPS and JOSM on Windows, works well for me.

So now I have the cable, EasyGPS works, but every time I try to try to 
download map-Data from the OSM-Server with JOSM I get a 403-Error 
(Forbidden). I see 2 possible reasens: wrong Connection Settings or a Server 
problem.
As Connection Settings I set
the Base Server URL: http://www.openstreetmap.org/api
as Username I tried bot my Emailadress and Username
Password: my password
CSV import: empty

The reasen I think it mygt be a server Problem is, that the "Platform 
Status" for the Service www is:
www 	 User interface 	 Problems	Potlatch currently unavailable

But does this means, that also JOSM is not available?
