[Talk-ca] new planet.osm

[john whelan]

Currently I'm chatting to a group of opendata people.  Terribly enthusiastic
people but they don't seem to be looking at the entire picture.  One
downloads a file called new planet.osm from
http://planet.openstreetmap.org/and  complains because its "8 gigs of
compressed data (uncompressed they're
over 120GB). Then it takes a couple of hours to uncompress and process the
file."  Since he is only interested in Ottawa I suspect there should be a
way to just download Ottawa rather than the entire planet which is what I
think he is doing at the moment.

Any suggestions?

Thanks John
