I am receiving a blank page (HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request) after requesting a data export

Dear Sir,

Since yesterday I am receiving a blank page after requesting a data export. The web console gives me the following message:

[09:40:49.306] GET http://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/map?bbox=15.181,-4.4888,15.602,-4.143 [HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request 1010ms]

One Answer:

Likely the area you selected is too big ("bad request"; same for me). Try a smaller area, e.g: http://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/map?bbox=15.55,-4.24,15.56,-4.23 . Background: The export feature needs much processing power, which our servers are short of (just donated resources!). It could be that it works during a low load time (see graph).
