Hi,

this is just a simple suggestion that you provide information about the date of reference of the OSM file, or perhaps the date when the last updates were made to the downloaded extract.

Thanks for your note. When you request the custom extract or an update to it, the process pulls the differences since the latest OSM planet file was released, so it should be current with the OSM website.

The ready-to-download popular extracts, however, I think are related to the date of the previous OSM planet file (which is usually released weekly). As you said, I do not believe this is indicated in the file or website now.

Thanks for the reply @rmglennon . My suggestion is simply that you make this info explicit on the website. You guys are doing an amazing job! Thanks.
