title: Downloading OSM data for large area
body: <p>I am trying to extract a road network of the entire Melbourne city from open street maps. The bounding box of the city is roughly min_lon: 144.27, min_lat: -38.57, max_lon: 145.60, max_lat: -37.56. However, since this area is quite large, most of the API can not handle this query (e.g., I tried downloading from <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.openstreetmap.org</a>, and overpass API inside QGIS, unfortunately, none of them work).</p>
  <p>Basically, I only need the road types and coordinates for all the highways in Melbourne city. Any idea of how to extract such a graph using OSM or other resources?</p>
