Website shows new maps but download has old map

[NickJPParticipant]

The download page for Australia, Oceania maps at https://www.openandromaps.org/en/downloads/australia-newzealand-oceania shows that the maps have been updated in the last few days. However, when I click on the download button for the Australia_NSW_VIC map & poi, the downloaded zip file still contains the map & poi from the previously available download, dated 2019-06-08, whereas the download page shows the map date as being 2019-09-10.

I checked via ftp at http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/misc/openstreetmap/openandromaps/mapsV4/oceania, and none of the maps there show a more recent date than June.

Hi Nick,

Thanks for bringing this to my attention – You are right, the upload job crashed.
.. should be resolved by Saturday 9:00 – 10:00 AM/MEZ

Thanks,
Christian

Opposite to the above, I see the Canada maps have been updated on the FTP site (thank you!), but the Canada page on the OAM site still shows the older date. The map I downloaded from the ftp site is definitely the newer one.

(Does using the FTP site save you money, or do both types of download use the same server?)

BTW, thank you for expanding Alberta into a simple rectangle that includes the SE corner of British Columbia. This is exactly the part of BC that I like to explore, and this means I no longer need to download the enormous BC file except on rare occasions.

That is inevitable during the upload prozess.

I create the maps, upload these to a storrage box on my server and in the early morning the admin from GWDG picks up the files and transfer these to the ftp GWDG server.
After this is done I update the Website, at midday, evening , sometimes next morning when sun is shining and I’m out on my cycle

Well, canada is a special problem.
The Ontario map takes days to render cause:
The great lakes were mapped in the bginning as sea with natural=coastline, this is no problem to render.
Then in 2015 someone tagged these great lakes as multipolygones, real huge monster_polys – these silly MPs take days to finish.
So I upload all maps of Canada, except of Ontario.
When Ontario is finally ready I upload Ontario map and update the website.

Well, this could be done more accurate, I know…

Best regards
Christian
