[OSM-talk] does one need to download the planet to use osmosis

[Kenneth Gonsalves]

hi,

I want to use osmosis to download and extract from the planet. I tried giving 
the web address of the planet latest file, but get an error saying 
'http:/openstre../planet_latest.. not found'. Note that the error gives the 
address as http:/  with only one forward slash. The question is, do I need to 
have the whole planet file on my local machine in order to extract a part of 
it?
