Hi,
I've made some updates to the download server at
download.geofabrik.de. You'll now get a map preview of the are you're
downloading, and if you have a very slow internet connection you will
value the fact that you can now expliticly download something like
europe-130310.osm.pbf instead of always using "-latest" - that way you
can be sure the file won't be removed from under your feet while you're
downloading it.
MD5 sums are now supported, as are regional daily diffs - it should now
be very easy to keep an updated extract for your region of interest
using just Osmosis and minimal daily downloads.
The URLs have changed slightly but redirects are in place so that old
links should still work:
* leading /openstreetmap/ has gone
* "-latest" introduced before file extension
* underscores replaced by hyphens
i.e. instead of
/openstreetmap/europe/great_britain.osm.pbf
it is now
/europe/great-britain-latest.osm.pbf
Bye
Frederik
