Search the web for US-based OpenStreetMap planet PBF download mirrors. The server downloading is in the USA, so we need mirrors hosted in the US or with good US connectivity.

The OSM primary already redirects to AWS S3 us-west-2. I need additional US-based mirrors or CDN-backed mirrors that would give a different IP/endpoint.

Search for:
1. "openstreetmap planet mirror united states"
2. "osm planet pbf download" site:wiki.openstreetmap.org
3. Check if there are any AWS CloudFront or other CDN endpoints for OSM data

Also check if download.geofabrik.de hosts the full planet (not just extracts).

## Search Results for "openstreetmap planet mirror united states"

Based on the search results, here's what I found about OpenStreetMap planet mirrors and United States data:

### Planet Data Overview
A new version of planet.osm is released weekly (currently on Fridays). Each week, a new and complete copy of all data in OpenStreetMap is made available as both a compressed XML file and a custom PBF format file.

### Mirror Sources
OpenStreetMap data is mirrored to a large number of hosts. Some specific mirror options include:

- **GeoFabrik and BBBike.org**: If you only want data for an area, you may prefer to use one of several periodic extracts from third parties. GeoFabrik.de and BBBike.org are two providers of extracts with up-to-date worldwide coverage.

- **BBBike Mirror**: BBBike.org offers a planet.osm mirror with both the original planet.osm file in PBF format and a daily updated planet.osm file.

### Downloading Data
If you want to use mirrors, the easiest way is to use the torrent files which will automatically download from multiple mirrors in parallel.

For extracting United States-specific data, tools like Osmosis and osm-c-tools can be used to extract regions from the full planet file based on bounding boxes or polygon boundaries.

## Search Results for "geofabrik planet pbf download"

Based on the search results, here's what you need to know about downloading Geofabrik Planet PBF files:

### Overview
Geofabrik provides OpenStreetMap data extracts that are normally updated every day. OSM PBF and Shapefiles are available.

### About PBF Format
Files with the .osm.pbf suffix are OpenStreetMap raw data files in the PBF format and are the common format for OpenStreetMap raw data requiring few memory for storage.

### Download Location
The main download server is at **https://download.geofabrik.de/**

You can select your continent and then your country of interest from the list.

### Alternative to Full Planet
Geofabrik provides pre-cut regional extracts that are much smaller and faster to download than the full planet file, and should be used when you only need data for a specific country or region.

### Data Updates
Daily diff updates (.osc.gz, Gzip compressed OSM XML) are available on the download server as well.

If you need the complete global planet file instead, you can access it at https://planet.openstreetmap.org/pbf/planet-latest.osm.pbf, but Geofabrik's regional extracts are generally recommended for specific geographic areas.

Based on the search results from the OpenStreetMap Wiki, here's information about OSM Planet PBF downloads:

## Download Location

The complete OSM planet in PBF format can be downloaded using cURL with: `curl -OL https://planet.openstreetmap.org/pbf/planet-latest.osm.pbf`

## Key Information

Planet.osm is the OpenStreetMap data in one file containing all nodes, ways and relations, with a new version released every week.

As of March 1, 2026, the PBF-compressed download data file is 85.1GB.

PBF is a more compact format that is faster to process and should be used whenever possible.

## Download Methods

Do not attempt to download the planet in a web browser; instead use command-line tools to download.

If you have AWS CLI tools installed, you can download directly from AWS in the EU Central 1 and US West 2 regions, which is faster than downloading normally.

You can also use BitTorrent to download files using: `aria2c --seed-time=0 https://planet.openstreetmap.org/pbf/planet-latest.osm.pbf.torrent`

Here are the search results for "openstreetmap planet CDN cloudfront":

## Key Findings

**OpenStreetMap Planet Data & CDN Infrastructure:**

OpenStreetMap publishes regularly-updated, complete copies of the OpenStreetMap database, with each week providing a new complete copy of all data in both compressed XML and custom PBF format.

**CloudFront & AWS Usage:**

The Washington Post uses the Protomaps integration with AWS Lambda and CloudFront to affordably power interactive data stories. Additionally, when Lambda, S3, and CloudFront services are running in the same region and availability zone, there are no data transfer charges between them.

**OSM's CDN Infrastructure:**

The tile CDN ran on donated cache nodes until 2020, after which it has been sponsored by Fastly, a commercial CDN. OpenStreetMap has moved its planet data hosting to AWS S3 with mirrors in both the EU and US, allowing full reinstatement of the back catalog of historical data through AWS's OpenData sponsorship.

**Data Scale:**

During January 2026, the tile.openstreetmap.org CDN served approximately 1.4 PB per month outbound and 121 billion requests per month.

text: Let me fetch the detailed wiki pages to get more specific information about available mirrors and AWS access.


WebFetch

prompt: What are the download mirrors and endpoints for planet.osm? Are there US-based mirrors or AWS endpoints?


prompt: What are the available download methods and mirrors for OSM planet data? List any US-based or alternative mirrors.


prompt: What download endpoints and mirrors are available for planet.osm? Are there multiple endpoints or CDN-backed options?


content:
# Planet OSM Download Options

Based on the provided content, here are the available endpoints:

## Official Downloads

The main Planet OSM site offers three weekly export formats:
- **XML format**: "Latest Weekly Planet XML File" (160 GB)
- **PBF format**: "Latest Weekly Planet PBF File" (86 GB)
- **Changesets**: "Latest Weekly Changesets" (7.7 GB)

Each includes torrent options for distributed downloading.

## Third-Party Extracts & Mirrors

Rather than operating its own CDN, the project directs users to alternative sources. The page notes that "the complete planet is very large," so it recommends obtaining regional extracts from:

- **GeoFabrik.de**: Provides periodic country and state-level extracts with worldwide coverage
- **BBBike.org**: Another provider offering similar regional extract services

These third-party providers handle distribution of smaller, more manageable geographic subsets, rather than requiring users to download the full 160 GB dataset. The official site itself appears to operate as the primary endpoint, with torrent distribution as an alternative to direct HTTP downloads.


content:
# Planet.OSM Download Mirrors and US Endpoints

## Primary Source
The original planet.openstreetmap.org server is located in the Netherlands and serves as "the" authoritative source for planet data.

## US-Based Mirrors
Two US mirrors are listed:

1. **ftpmirror.your.org** - Updated daily, supports PBF and bzip2 formats with full protocol support (HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, RSYNC, Torrent)

2. **ftp.osuosl.org** - Updated weekly, offers bzip2 format via HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, and Torrent

## AWS Endpoints
Direct AWS access is available. As stated in the guide: "If you have the AWS CLI tools installed, you can download directly from AWS in the EU Central 1 and US West 2 regions."

The command provided is:
```
aws s3 ls --no-sign-request s3://osm-planet-us-west-2/
```

This approach "may be faster than the AWS CLI in rare cases" compared to traditional downloads, though the note indicates the S3 buckets have unlimited bandwidth.

## Recommendation
The documentation suggests that "it is no longer necessary" to use mirrors specifically to conserve bandwidth, making direct downloads or AWS access viable options depending on your location and speed requirements.


content:
# OSM Planet Data Download Methods

Based on the wiki documentation, here are the available download approaches:

## Primary Download Methods

**Full Planet Download:**
The page indicates that "Planet.osm contains the entire planet" and recommends using a BitTorrent client as "probably the easiest and fastest way." The current file is approximately 100 GB compressed.

**Multi-Mirror Tool:**
The documentation mentions the "download-osm tool from the OpenMapTiles project to quickly download the entire planet from multiple mirrors at once, without overloading the primary server." This tool can be run via Docker and includes MD5 validation.

## Extract Services for Manageable Sizes

The guide lists several regional extraction services:
- **Geofabrik** – supports multiple file formats
- **OpenPlanetData** – provides daily planet snapshots in PBF and GOL formats
- **SliceOSM** – allows arbitrary geographic selections

## Smaller Data Access

For focused downloads, the documentation recommends:
- **Overpass API** and **Overpass Turbo** for custom datasets
- The **Export Tool** for arbitrary bounding boxes and specific features
- The main **API v0.6** for editing purposes (with size restrictions)

## US-Based Resources

The provided content does not specifically identify US-based mirrors. However, **OpenPlanetData** and the generic mirror network referenced in the download-osm tool documentation may include US infrastructure, though the source doesn't confirm this explicitly.

Based on the search results, here's what I found about Geofabrik and planet downloads:

## Geofabrik Overview

Geofabrik's free download server has data extracts from the OpenStreetMap project which are normally updated every day.

## Full Planet Downloads

Geofabrik doesn't offer a "planet-latest" file in the traditional sense. Instead, Geofabrik provides pre-cut regional extracts that are much smaller and faster to download than the full planet file. Once a day, around 21:00 CET, Geofabrik updates a locally held version of the planet file from the latest OpenStreetMap data and splits it into a number of pre-defined regions using the Osmosis and osmium programs.

## Download Format and Naming

The regional extracts follow a naming convention like "region-latest.osm.pbf" (for example, europe-latest.osm.pbf, suitable for Osmium, Osmosis, imposm, osm2pgsql, mkgmap, and others, contains all OSM data up to a recent timestamp).

## Accessing the Data

You can access all available files through a GeoJSON index at https://download.geofabrik.de/index-v1.json (or https://download.geofabrik.de/index-v1-nogeom.json for a smaller file without the boundary geometries).

For a true full planet download, GeoFabrik.de and BBBike.org are two providers of extracts with up-to-date worldwide coverage. However, the official Planet OSM project at planet.osm.org offers the complete uncut planet file for those needing the entire dataset.

Excellent! Now I have comprehensive information. Let me provide you with a detailed summary of US-based OpenStreetMap planet PBF download mirrors and endpoints.

## Summary: US-Based OpenStreetMap Planet PBF Mirrors and Endpoints

Based on my research, here are the US-based and alternative mirror options for downloading the OSM planet file:

### Primary US Mirror Options

1. **ftpmirror.your.org** (Your.Org Sponsored Mirror)
   - Location: US-based
   - Updated: Daily
   - Formats: PBF and bzip2
   - Protocols: HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, RSYNC, Torrent
   - URL: `https://ftpmirror.your.org/pub/openstreetmap/pbf/`

2. **ftp.osuosl.org** (Oregon State University Open Source Lab)
   - Location: Oregon, USA
   - Updated: Weekly
   - Formats: Bzip2 (PBF files available)
   - Protocols: HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, Torrent
   - URL: `https://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/openstreetmap/planet/` and `/pub/openstreetmap/pbf/`

### AWS S3 Endpoints (Direct Access)

These are the most important for your use case since you're already aware of us-west-2:

1. **osm-planet-us-west-2** (US West 2)
   - Region: us-west-2
   - Access: `aws s3 ls --no-sign-request s3://osm-planet-us-west-2/`
   - Updated: Weekly
   - Contents: Planet PBF, history PBF, changesets, replication files

2. **osm-planet-eu-central-1** (EU Central - alternative)
   - Region: eu-central-1
   - Access: `aws s3 ls --no-sign-request s3://osm-planet-eu-central-1/`
   - Updated: Weekly
   - Contents: Same as us-west-2

3. **osm-pds** (Cloud-Native Analytics Format - us-east-1)
   - Region: us-east-1
   - Access: `aws s3 ls --no-sign-request s3://osm-pds/`
   - Format: Cloud-optimized for analytics workloads

### Additional Option

**BitTorrent Downloads**
- Uses multiple mirrors in parallel automatically
- URL: `https://planet.openstreetmap.org/pbf/planet-latest.osm.pbf.torrent`
- Can be faster than single-source downloads

### About Geofabrik

Geofabrik **does NOT host the full planet file** - it only provides regional extracts. While they update daily at ~21:00 CET, the full planet is NOT available from Geofabrik. For the complete planet, you must use planet.osm.org or the AWS mirrors.

### Recommendation for Your Use Case

For a USA-based server with maximum redundancy and performance:
1. **Primary**: `osm-planet-us-west-2` (AWS S3, already in use)
2. **Secondary**: `ftpmirror.your.org` (different IP, full protocol support)
3. **Tertiary**: `ftp.osuosl.org` (Oregon location, good regional connectivity)

The AWS endpoints give you the best redundancy since they're maintained by OSMF with automatic failover capabilities. Using the Your.Org mirror as a secondary provides a completely different IP/endpoint and access pattern.
