Description
So far you can only (manually) download one area ater the other. If the area is too big it tell you just that the area is to big and you have to retry/guess the correct size.
The idea is that you can select multiple areas at once that are then downloaded after each other (like the option to download map data along a gpx track). You would do that by simply holding shift while dragging a box on the download-page. Unlike now where the old box is removed and the new download area is selectd, the second box that you just selected with shift, would be added to the download queue and both would be downloaded one after the other.
Some kind of intelligent method would be nice as well that splits the area in to small chunks. That would be very usefull in cities where you have a ton of data but you do not want to download over 150 seperate parts of the city.
The size limitation is a server method to reduce the server load. The idea is that mappers DO NOT download large amounts of data, but rather think what they really need. What you propose is a prevention of these server checks. We wont implement this.
