Occasionally (about once a week), I'll need to restart the osmxapi server, which will then interrupt the download process and give you files that don't have a closing <osm> tag. Recently, this happened once yesterday, and several times over the weekend due to the various issues with the NFS mount that hosts MySQL for [EMAIL PROTECTED] Additionally, osmxapi has a two hour timeout, so if your request takes two hours and doesn't do anything, it will kill the connection. I do not know if either of these explains your problem.
