I wonder how many users actually need a planet-wide planet file. Surely there are loads of cases where a regional extract would suffice for the use case in hand. How about encouraging people to consider using a regional download? Something else, only slightly off-topic: I have often had ideas in

Re: [OSM-talk] weeklyOSM #497 2020-01-21-2020-01-27

We are talking literally about a one command "pipeline" that already does everything right and consumes 1% of the volume of a weekly download of the planet. Not to mention that you get a daily (or whatever you want) updated planet out of it that contains a defined set of diffs (contrary to the

Andy, I agree that being frugal with bandwidth is important. Yet, there is a significant operations cost involved here, that I suspect very few will actually be willing to spend, unless it is made trivial -- the cost of setting up an independent planet file update pipeline - i.e. a docker image th

While keeping a planet file up to date is really easy, it is probably not the first idea that comes to mind when you first plan to do something with the data. This service looks like a good idea, but filtering abusers must be kept in mind anyway. Yves _

Andy, two major reasons: * Anyone working on an evolving project like OpenMapTiles would attest that the import schema constantly changes. Every time schema changes, one needs to download newest planet, import it based on the new schema, and run diffs from that point. * Automation / easy adaptati

The news mentions that downloads from Planet OSM are currently rate limited to 400 kB/s and suggest to use mirrors, but does not mention the related announcement about the new tool to simplify such downloads. I think it will help anyone downloading, and it might be worth including in the next weekl
