JOSM -> Connection -> OSM

Hi,

I just installed JOSM, and would like to download maps from OSM.
After selecting from the world map in for a small area and OK, an error dialog appears.

The maximum bbox size is 0.25, and your request was too large. Either request a smaller area, or user planet.osm

I am selecting from a small area already, should I change the URL to:
http://planet.osm.org/index.html?mlat=0.0&mlon=0.0&zoom=21

The email addresses you should be using are from the openstreetmap.org site. (Unless planet links do work, but I’ve never heard of that method). I’m not shore of the exact size, but I frequently download areas about 4 miles square and it’s fine, so aim for that size.
