The Overpass API server you are using is currently down, see platform status. There are other Overpass API instances available which you can try, assuming that QGIS allows to configure the server address.

  • Thank you ! I though that nobody want to help me, maybe as you say the server was down, but is on again now, do you think I need to change it anyway?

  • No, don't change it if it is working now. You are using the primary Overpass API server which is fine.

It works now! it was not a failure in my pc, I guess it was an error from the OSM, and they fix it.

Yesterday I use this page https://mapzen.com/data/metro-extracts/ to get the layers, is good.
