[OSM-talk] Errors on the API

[Etienne]

Am I the only person who gets *****NO RESPONSE****** when requesting
data from the API?  This happens 90% of the time.  I rarely get a 400
or 500 response.

This happens even with really really tiny areas.

I had this problem for a very long time now and the server upgrades
didn't seem to alleviate it much (if at all).

I've not seen many complaints here about the server just not returning
a response so I'm wondering if there is some issue with my own
network.  Does anyone else ever get NO RESPONSE from the API?
