When I try to Export using the OpenStreetMap XML Data format I get the WebPage http://www.openstreetmap.org/export/finish cannot be found.

Can anyone tell me if there is a way round this

Thanks

Frank

I've just tried a small area and it worked for me. What area are you trying to export?

That's a bit big to request from the live server. The error that I get when I try that area is:

You requested too many nodes (limit is 50000). Either request a smaller area, or use planet.osm

I'd suggest that using a ready-made extract might be the better approach. There's one of Oxfordshire here. You can choose either protobuf (pbf) or compressed (bz2) format. If whatever application you're going to use the data with understands PBF, pick that; otherwise pick the .BZ2 one and uncompress it. The data's up to date as of last night. Other extracts are also available.

... and now, that's exactly what the server suggests when you try and export too large an area:
