Downloading maps from http://download.osmand.net/rawindexes/

[arturo garcia]

Hi,
I am trying to download the spanish map from the url http://download.osmand.net/rawindexes/ (as stated in the wiki page). When I do so I get a file called download.php (inspite of the name displayed for the file): That's a file I can't unzipped and when executed I get another download of the same file. I have tried to do it with firefox and internet explorer. I have also tried to look for similar problem from someone else to no avail (which leads me to think that either I'm doing something wrong cause a I am silly or there is a real error somewhere).
Any suggestion is welcome.

Have a good day,
Arturo

It's already a long running issue. Rename the download.php into Spain_europe_2.obf.zip and unzip it.

Thanks Harry, I'll try that way. Sorry I didn't find the previous descriptions of the issue in the googlegroup.

If you have downloaded more than one map, you get the files download.php, download(1).php, ...
Put them all in a directory not too deep in the structure, open the dos box (execute cmd), go to the directory, where the files are (I hope you know the dos commands   cd/    cd..    cd <directory name>   ) and use the dos command

rename *.php *.zip

After that close the dos box and expand all zip files in one step. The expanded files will have the right names.
There are windows programs for renaming more than one file in one step, too. But I don't use it.
