Go to their website - read their policy. tile.openstreetmap.org is not to be used for "bulk downloads". I can understand this, they probably have a bandwith problem. This rules out any app that actually do bulk downloading, they detect and block as needed. Find another repository that don't have such limitations. Changing the user agent string will work - for a little while. Then the new string goes on the block list - or perhaps your IP address.
