When I try to export the map I want I am redirected t a blank screen. I found this link on another question http://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/map?bbox=-103.5983,43.8721,-103.0353,44.18766266 That works just fine.

What am I doing wrong?

You can only export small regions from the main API, up to 50'000 elements. The main API is intended for editing, not for large scale downloads.

The area in question has currently more than 120'000 elements. It might have been smaller than 50'000 elements some years ago.

You can get the same data for the same area if you download it from a mirror instead of the main API. Just click the "Overpass API" link below the "Export" button.
