The switch to the new download-server is done, please flush your browsercache and reconfigure your grabbing scripts.
I would kindly ask you to check the configuration of your favorite grabbing tool to ensure that they dont run in a loop and download the same map again and again 😉
The maps on GoogleDrive will stay online, but I wont update them any more – the Maps on mega.co.nz will be deleted next week.
Best regards, Christian
Openandromaps are currently being switched step by step to a non-commercial, professional Download-Server.
The maps will be served from the same server that hosts the “Geofabrik” – thanks to everyone who supported this move.
This step was a crucial point for the whole project couse it was clear to see that GoogleDrive would stop this sooner or later, there were already problems this March.
Currently more than 200 Maps are served from openandromaps, this means 70GB of disc-space and lots of Terrabytes of traffic every month – a volume that is not possible to serve with a commercial server with no budget.
The move starts with Germany and Europe and should be finished next weekend. If there are any problems please drop me a line.
Best regards, christian
BTW: Currently the maps are synced by ftp with the server – a clear nonsense currently accepted by the server-admin.
However, next weeks should see a Synology-NAS-System for syncing by rsync – this will cost another 350Euros, I hope you will support this project by some bucks (a few are better than none) 😉
Germany: Now has its own download page.
I added all states as seperate files for those with small data-accounts.
Europa: Ukraine is now available in cyrillic too.
Africa, Oceania: new rendered
China: The coplete coverage is now ready for download
Japan: For the first time whole Japan is available for download.
Comming next week: Russia both in english and cyrillc
Best regards, Christian
Russia now have its own download section due to its size.
At the moment these maps are rendered in english language (as far as tagged in Openstreetmap), in the future – after completing coverage and finetunning – the maps will be available both in english and cyrillic.
Available at the moment: Caucasia, Central, Ural-South, Volga
The database of Russia is of excellent quality, thanks to the russian cummunity!
