Hi - We're setting up a server to support the project with a modest 128 Gb RAM.
Q1: What is the "right way" to get map updates for .pbf files? Any best practices out there? Nightly/Weekly builds? Do you get the data from http://download.geofabrik.de/ and are they okay with the traffic? Q2: What is the "right way" to prevent import of criminal map updates? I read on the OSM forum that somebody got banned after moving industry addresses around in updates, with a plausible suspicion on attempting to redirect deliveries (without payment). Q3: Any other best practices to keep in mind?
