<html><body><div style="color:#000; background-color:#fff; font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:12pt"><div style="" class="">I have been using Qgis 1.8 for a couple of years and have decided that it is time to upgrade. I have installed <span class="" style="font-weight: bold;">Qgis 2.2</span> on my <span class="" style="font-weight: bold;">Windows 7</span> laptop and I can no longer use OpenStreetMap. I opened a project I made using Qgis 1.8 and the street map layer was no longer there. I then opened the OpenStreetMap (Vector --> OpenStreetMap --> Download Data) in Qgis 2.2, left the defaults alone, and clicked on the "OK" button. I received the following error message:</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;" class=""><br></div><div

I also could not use OpenStreetMap with Qgis 2.4 so I uninstalled it and tried Qgis 2.2 with the hope that it would not be a problem in an older version. No such luck!<br style="" class=""></div></div></body></html>
