If it is a relatively small area, I would use the XAPI service [
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Xapi]  (I would use the java based one
(jxapi) as that is more reliable) - on linux I use:

wget --timeout=600
http://jxapi.openstreetmap.org/xapi/api/0.6/map?bbox=-1.311,54.6079,-1.1110,54.7294-O
hartlepool.osm

where the bbox parameters are the longtitude and latitude of the bottom left
and top right of the bounding box defining your area.

Hope that helps.


Graham.
