Yet there is no link to these places from planet.openstreetmap.org that indicates that the files available there differ in some important or useful way. The telascience.org source you suggested is described as "extracts of NL, Scandinavia and Taiwan" at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Planet.osm , rather than a complete dump of Planet with different datetime boundaries. I'm happy to keep bellying up to the trial & error bar here, but as I mention in a previous mail, the volume of data involved means that individual attempts at the data (successful or not) have multiple-day costs associated with them. > Umm, yeah.
