Hi, I lost track of who wrote what in this thread, but: > Although geofabrik says the extracts are done every > night, the extract I got yesterday was atleast 2 weeks out of date for my > area.
We generate all extracts every day, with the sole exception of the North America extract which is really only a relic and should be deleted from the download server (it is currently done once a week). The NA extract doesn't help anybody a lot because it is so big that you might as well download the planet. Back to the original question; if you get yourself an account on the OSM dev server then you have NFS access to the planet file and you could run Osmosis on it directly. This is not recommended for regular use as it creates considerable load on the machine, but if you are in a situation where download bandwidth is limited, that's an option. But bear in mind that the planet is only updated once each week, so from Friday to Wednesday you'll probably get a more current snapshot if you use one of the Geofabrik files (except of course the North America one).
