Hi,

server has a limit for filie size attachments.

 Hi,
I am primarily editing Metro Manila, Philippines

I am writing because there are some weird things happening to my edits
lately.  Just last week (may 24) we had a short mapping party, I had 4
new OSM mapper involved.  After half a days work, we added new
nodes/segments/ways using a pre-downloaded osm file of the surrounding
area.

Later that night we tried uploading the data to OSM. A couple of 500
errors occurred.  I thought there were problems uploading due to the API
upgrade so I decided to try the next couple of days.  Still I
encountered a lot of 500 error.  Until finally I was able to complete
the upload yesterday (May 30).

Downloading a fresh osm file from JOSM today, I see the new
nodes/segments/ways loaded in the database (see 1.png for an example [1]).
However, the other ways seems to be disconnected.

Zooming in and out of JOSM, I later found out that some segments of the
same way are too far away from each other (see 2.png [2] and 3.png [3], notice
the lat/lon differences at the bottom-right corner of JOSM).

Totally unaware where in the world are the segments, I used the
"download from osm" button from JOSM and clicking at the map tab (see
4.png [4]).  The segments are somewhere in northern Europe (was it Sweden or
Norway)!

Does anybody encountered the same problem?  I also fear some of my other
edits from months before maybe affected.  How can I resolve this
problem?

Cheers,

maning
