[OSM-talk] Planet-latest.osm.bz2 corrupt?

[Lambertus]

Thanks for looking into this. I've tested the archive with the suggested 
  -tvv option which resulted in a CRC error somewhere in the archive.

As to  my hardware, although I recently upgraded my machine from a 
single core to dual core and triple the RAM, it runs without problems 
when stressing both cores (with instances of Osmosis and Mkgmap) while 
bzip2 only stresses one core. Also total power consumption (measured on 
the power outlet) is about 50% of what the Antec power supply should be 
able to deliver.

This is no protection against instability issues ofcourse so I will test 
more this evening.

/me starts twisting thumbs....
