[OSM-talk] Geofabrik planet extracts

2008-03-30 Thread Ben Laenen

Hi all, I keep having 412 errors when trying to modify a certain route relation (id=3964, runs from Antwerp to the Netherlands in Belgium). It's quite a long route relation so I don't immediately see where the problem is, just the 412 error on the terminal (which JOSM doesn't detect btw, it
