It will work, give it time. Also default distance is 29000. Give distance of 10000 to see faster results. It certainly is working as many users have generated maps.

Also note that as per their terms and conditions I need to give a user agent, so multiple users will be sharing same user agent right now.

The bar only updates once that entire step is complete (ie, if step 1 of 3 is downloading roads, it won't tell you what % of roads have been downloaded, but rather it will remain at 0% until all roads are downloaded at which point it will jump to 33%).

Thank you, it worked with the help of your tips!
