I'm trying to loading the complete shapefile from germany (905 MB) from this source http://downloads.cloudmade.com/europe/western_europe/germany#downloads_breadcrumbs
I get the error, that the server isn't responding. Also Tilemill occupies more than 1GB of RAM. I understand that loading such a big shapefile is a heavy load, but is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
