To start with, here's a feed of torrents that you can put into any BitTorrent client that supports feeds, like Deluge, to automatically download a weekly export of the entire map. That would be over 1.7 terabyte of OpenStreetMap XML data, but they provide a better format called PBF based on protobuf, that reduces this down to about 70 gigabytes.

+

Multiple RSS feeds are available, to get the PBF version, the BZ2-compressed XML version, or the entire history of the map and not just its current state. Those are documented on the OSM wiki.

+

I really like the name of this thing. Planet. You can just… download the whole planet. This is how far we've come as a society. Why stop at downloading a car when you can download a planet?
