Thanks for you reply.
I'm looking to download my local area on a weekly or even more frequent 
cycle so I don't really want to download the whole of GB every time. And 
as I want to do it regularly I want to set up windows batch file to 
automate the process so your first option won't work as the tiles size & 
location appear vary over time (not sure why).

I've been trying to use Wget to download the raw data myself but I can't 
get this to work:

wget -O My.osm 
"http://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/map?bbox=-2.34,51.37,-2.37,51.38"

It appears not to like the negative values. Any solutions?

Thanks
Dave F.
