JOSM often fails to download, and I cannot Cancel

[anonymous]

When I try to Download from OSM, the process usually gets stuck at 16KB or 23KB. It goes for about a minute without downloading anything. Then, when I press Cancel, the program hangs up, I have to kill JOSM from Task Manager. This happens very frequently, I can say most of the time, but not always.

Version: 5210
OS: Windows

First of all, please try to update JOSM.

We need more information.

• When reporting a bug, please include the first three blocks of the status report (Help -> Show status report).
• Did you try it with an empty/new preference directory (Reset preferences) ?
• Does it happen everywhere or only in a certain region ?
  • Please tell us the region where it happens.

Thanks

Hi,
I updated JOSM to latest a few days ago.

I cleared the preferences and the problem still persists. It is not sensitive to the area.

+ I would like to add that I only tried to download Hungarian areas (all of which were quite small, so that should not be a problem). So it _might_ be sensitive to the area somehow, I can only say for sure that Hungarian areas fail to download for me, most of the time.

Hi!
I want to repair my Josm and so i have done:
I went to the josm.exe properties then I have enabled compatibility mode with Win XP SP3 and apply. I run the Josm...and it works! JOSM normally download the OSM data, but why.....here is the question ;)


Maybe this helps...? (Sorry for my English :)

Latest josm-tested works perfectly with JRE6.0.33 but the bug appears with JRE7.0.5.
Tested with Windows 7 SP1 and JRE x64 JVMs.

the bug appears with JRE7.0.5.

Interesting. I see Java 7 update 4 introduced several huge changes (new JVM, GC, etc.). Is it possible for you to test with JRE7u3 ?

Tested with JRE7u3 and the new JRE7u6: same behaviour.

I am trying to get JOSM working to change items in my direct neighborhood. Downloading isn't working and I will get the same situation as described in this ticket. Downloading stops at 16kB and the only thing to do is kill the JOSM application with the task manager.
Hoping a solution/workaround is availabel soon

As already mentioned a workaround is to use java 6 instead of java 7

I went to State of the Map last weekend in Portland, so I'm excited to start working in OSM. I downloaded the jar file as indicated ​http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/JOSM/Guide and then tried to start on a little tiny town in the US, and I hang up exactly as described above. Help! I am completely new to OSM and JOSM.

Hi
Welcom to OSM !

This seems to be a problem with java 7 on windows. One solution is to use java 6. This has nothing to do with OSM and only little with JOSM.

Anyway, you probably get more help on the newbie mailing list or in the forum. This ticket system is definitly the wrong place to ask for help.

Cheers

Where is the "Newbie mailing list" or the "forum"? I can't get JOSM to work, so I googled my problem and it matches this thread, so I don't understand the boot.

Sorry, I did not intend to offend you but only was trying to give you a hint as this ticket is open for some time now and the problem is not found, yet. You are welcome to comment on tickets.

Have a look at the main page.

Maybe this bug has to deal with the 32-bit version of Java. I'm personally using the 64-bit and have had non of these downloading problems. So, if these people are using Windows 7 x64, they should install the x64 version of Java 7 to use with JOSM. It might fix their problems.

Too bad the "Operating system" line in the Status Report area doesn't list which version of Windows 7 they are running (x86 or x64). I wonder if that can be improved possibility in JOSM?
