Shapefile download

How can I download a .shp of South Carolina, US? Or how can I convert to .shp one of the the downloads from http://download.geofabrik.de/north-america/us/south-carolina.html where they have the options for .osm.pbf or .osm.bz2. Thanks!

Try http://extract.bbbike.org where you can request a shapefile for a custom area. Alternatively, you can produce shapefiles from .osm.pbf by

using the osmjs program that comes with osmium or
using the OSM OGR driver (e.g. from ogr2ogr) to convert to shape or
importing the file into a PostGIS database with imposm or osm2pgsql, and then export shapefile from there with pgsql2shp

Having said that, I am the guy running download.geofabrik.de and I'm working on adding shape files for US states so if you can wait for a couple more days there's likely going to be a download option for .shp.zip there.
