Could we do this on the dev Server?
If we need more diskspace on these machines we could thow some Euros/Pounds/.. 
togeter and by a new HDD.

What about doing this per week.

Why downloading. If it is done on the dev Server we could use the weekly 
planet.osm and use this with an pre areafilter. This would keep the db-server 
load smaller.

This sounds like a really good Idea to me.

If it's one script which does all the rendering from the current planet.osm I 
can host the resulting Maps/svng/jpg/png on my webserver too. Just in case 
the Internet connection or HDD Space on the /Dev-Server is not enough.
