0.18.2 displays Bad Request, when it should display the real problem (you're trying to download too large area)

When trying to download any maps.

Hi! Bad Request happens if the map you're trying to download is too large. That may be due to it's pure size, or number of nodes in that area. Try choosing smaller area at a time.

I agree that the message is a bit misleading, and I will update it for the next version, to say something informative.

[l29ah]

Okay, i got it. So the London download preset is quite useless?

[l29ah]

By the way, is there a way to disable the lots of red dots a map is covered with?

[Krakonos]

Yes, the preset is pretty useles. I will probably remove it, as I don't see any value in it anyway. Maybe set it up so it zooms the selection map to the place and let's you select details.

The dots show the area that is not fully downloaded. You can disable them in Show->Show downloaded areas.

Fixed in 50ce694.

Bit of a noob here - but I think the closure was in error; fix seems to be unrelated?

That, and I, also managed to keep trying to download far too large an an area and had to google my way here. 😃

[Krakonos]

You're right, I'm not sure what I was thinking about when I posted that.

I also am hitting the Bad Request, on 0.18.3-64, but with an area of *[bbox=-144.124378,-89.169522,518.050908,85.996991] (that's one roundabout in Scotland) which is definitely NOT too large.

i am also hitting this error for some reason. Downloading Christchurch, NZ.

[Krakonos]

Hmm. I kind of forgotten about this issue, sorry.

@SinusPi : The bbox looks weird. Do you remember the exact roundabout? Can it be exactly on the prime meridian? Is it triggered from the dialog, using "download more", remote control or some other way?

@ioquatix : Whole christchurch? That seems to be too large area. Try smaller chunk, it should work. I'll update the error message for next release.

[Krakonos]

Hi! In commit df8a089 , I made a change to show the error message from server. In case the area is too large, it displays the correct problem (usually over 50000 nodes in the query).

@SinusPi As the issue you are having is mostly irrelevant to the error reporting, please fill a new issue with more info about that roundabout. Thanks!

[ioquatix]

Is there some way to incrementally download a larger region so as to avoid this error?
