Description
What steps will reproduce the problem?
- Install on Gentoo Linux
- Try to fetch a small region (works on very small)
Error text:
The OSM server 'api.openstreetmap.org' reported a bad request. The area you tried to download is too big or your request was too large. Either request a smaller area or use an export file provided by the OSM community.
Good to have a link here for that export file from OSM community - I do not know where to download it.

You can use Overpass, you can use GeoFabrik, you can use the actual planet.pbf, etc.
Please mention them in that error popup, with links.
And if limit 50000 is known before - can we show that info without the network call?

The error message is direct from the server. We can parse it, but that is fragile. And so I'm disinclined to implement something that will eventually break.

Only if we know that there are 50k nodes at the location in question. Which we do not know ahead of time.

We have already a "try to make readable" in trunk/src/org/openstreetmap/josm/tools/ExceptionUtil.java. We can expand this. I think here explainBadRequest() is relevant. I think we didn't change this for a long time, so may be some extensions could be helpful.
The rule for this stuff is simple: When you know the message and it comes often then explain, otherwise pass through ;-) The class probably also contains some "can't happen anymore".

It looks like we are actually writing the message ourselves. So I was wrong to close this as WONTFIX anyway.

Only "append". The original message should have been in the dialog as well.

Do you know if we have a good reason to not have clickable hyperlinks in HelpAwareOptionPane?

Hmm,
- wasn't there when code was written,
- wasn't known to the developers,
- nobody thought it helps?
No, I have no idea why. 😽
P.S. I'd add a 'recommended' to the smaller area and something like 'if you know what you do' for the other options. Could prevent trouble...

Probably a good idea. :) I was thinking about adding recommended to overpass, but recommending a smaller area is the better option.

There are several different locations where you can download larger extracts from OSM.
You can use Overpass, you can use GeoFabrik, you can use the actual planet.pbf, etc.
I would recommend the first option since the other two options will use significantly more memory.
