Hi Arne,
adding Stamen terrain background will not take months but a few minutes.
You can either use the Add\Edit\Remove tab under settings, or just copy a
Stamen folder in qgis2/QuickMapServices/Contribute/data_sources and put it
into /.qgis2/QuickMapServices/User/data_sources and then adjust the naming
of the folder and of the settings in the metadata.ini
which looks like this then:
[general]
id = stamen_terrain_background
type = TMS
[ui]
group = stamen
alias = Stamen Terrain Background
icon = stamen.png
[license]
name = CC-BY 3.0
link = http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
copyright_text = Map tiles by Stamen Design, under CC BY 3.0. Data by
OpenStreetMap, under ODbL
copyright_link = http://maps.stamen.com/
terms_of_use = http://maps.stamen.com/
[tms]
url = http://tile.stamen.com/terrain-background/{z}/{x}/{y}.png
zmin = 0
zmax = 19
y_origin_top = 1
This works quite well, but the service itself is somehow buggy. Lots of
tiles are missing in deeper zoom levels, both in the browser-based version
and in QGIS, so the problem is not from QuickMapServices but from the
service itself.
Hope this helps

begin quotation from Bernd Vogelgesang (in

have a look at the QuickMapServices-plugin.
There are already some Stamen backgrounds available.
Maybe the one you look for is there too. Have also a look at
Settings/More
services/Get contributed pack
As far as I know, OpenLayers will be replaced by QuickMapServices
Thanks, it helped a bit - it still does not have Stamen
terrain-background
or something comparable, but it has two other maps I might use
eventually.
I might try to add Stamen terrain-background when I get around to it -=
but
I expect this will take some months.
