> For those who download OSM data regularly, there is now a simple way to reduce the load on the primary OSM servers, while also making download much faster and ensure the data is correct.

Apologies if this has been done to death already, but surely if you are downloading the entire planet regularly you are quite simply "doing it wrong"?

Minutely (and other frequency) diffs exist, and there are ways of keeping a .pbf up to date (both osmium-based and osmosis-based, if for some reason the former doesn't work for you).

A "tool" that downloads from all mirrors in parallel just leads to a "tragedy of the commons" situation, and isn't a solution to the underlying problem of scarce resources.
