8274	JOSM prevents opening of local files if OSM server is down	rickmastfan67	team	"Right now, the API is down for the main OSM website.  Because of that, I can't edit any local files in JOSM because has completely frozen trying to get my ""details"".
{{{GET http://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/user/details}}}
In fact, I can't even close the ""Opening files"" window or hit the ""Cancel"" button because of that, hence the '''blocker''' priority.

There should be a way to limit this check when you're ready to upload maybe?  Or at least have a timeout after, say, 15 seconds.  I wanted to at least work on some stuff in my saved file right now while the server was down...
