Just to warn you: are you sure you need all those tiles?
Did you calculate the number of tiles up to z17 ? How will you manage
all those tiles? This is not easy at all to handle this amount of files
in a z/x/y.png directory structure.

Hi,
Thank you for the response. I do have a offline tiles server on
windows, I was just wondering if there was an easier way to download
all the tiles of a big area for someone who does not want to install a
tiles server.
I didn't find any tiles provider in the list that allow you to
download all the tiles from a large area. Everything seems to be online.
Thank you,
Vincent
