Hi, 

A few weeks ago, I wrote a blog post 
<https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/SeverinGeo/diary/408690> about the 
inequities between countries regarding the minimum size of OSM maps that 
can be downloaded. From my experience as a traveler, I had figured out that 
for some countries, only a large scale was available, and downloading was 
difficult when the internet connection was unreliable. 

I used a script to rank the country information from 
https://download.osmand.net/list.php by file size within each subcontinent. 
For example, Nigeria, the most populous country in Africa, only has one map 
at a scale larger than 600 MB. 

There is little explanation for this situation except for a comment 
suggesting that a request for smaller map files was never made for these 
countries. In any case, I think it can easily be fixed.

Sincerely,

Severin

PS: Is there any data available on how many times each map file has been 
downloaded?
