Hello, I want to download the .pbf file of Seattle directly. I tried using BBBike.org but the data on that site is not up to date, and other services seems no manual bbox (type the 4 coordinate) extract support. Also, I think download the plant.osm and crop it inconvenient. There's no matter what shape it is (a rectangle or the city border), and how to get the newest .pbf file? |

Would the state of Washington be too big? This one from Geofabrik is 5 hours old: http://download.geofabrik.de/north-america/us/washington-latest.osm.pbf Exact procedure:
Yes, I think it will be too big and slower when render in JOSM. I also tried to use the Overpass API to download the Seattle area, but I don't know which format it is (seems it isn't a .osm but a .xml file) or how to open it. Is there a command that can convert it into a osm.pbf file in the Linux terminal?

maybe try osmconvert like this: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmconvert#Example_using_a_polygon_file_from_polygons.openstreetmap.fr with poly http://polygons.openstreetmap.fr/get_poly.py?id=237385¶ms=0 on the washingon.osm.pbf ?

I generate the output .pbf file successfully, but I can't open it in JOSM because it isn't the .osm.pbf format, is there any difference between these 2 formats?

Hm, the pbf should be a .osm.pbf. Did you try renaming it or using osmconvert with -o seattle.osm.pbf?

Maybe it would be a good idea to explain what you actually want to acheive in the end?
Opening a whole city's data in JOSM is unusual, and might be impossible.
