Hi guys,
I'd like to use some example *localized* data and I want to donwload
them directly from OSM. So I follow the Training manual (here
http://www.qgis.org/en/docs/training_manual/foreword/preparing_data.html#hard-ty)
but the procedure doesn't work. When clicking on the download.osm data
through the **Add vector layer** menu, QGIS doesn't recognize the data
and nothing happens.

Given that this is a very useful tool I think it should be improved in
some ways.

I also read this post
(http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/73238/how-do-i-load-osm-vector-data-in-qgis-2-x)
but I think that for new-users this procedure is a little bit
complicated..

Cheers

Matteo
