stops creator overpass to many connections

When building a stops list i\m getting the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Is there a way to avoid it?

You could use a different API server: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Overpass_API

Or if you have many stops without names in OSM, you could set name_auto to no in your config file.

where can i configure a different server? is this configurable?

You need to ask the people from the overpy library or look into their source. Their API URL is defined here.
