Hi Glenn, I'm away from my machine that has QGIS installed so I can't recreate the steps I used to d/l tiles. Pls take a look at the archives as I know i described it there.
I was only ever able to get it to work for an individual session - when I close the .qgs file with the OSM-related work and re-open it the OSM map tiles are not there. I have to re-load as a basemap via the Open Layers menu. I thought when I had it working in 2.2 that this was not the case. I may be wrong because it was only a few weeks between my use of 2.2 and 2.4, which was what broke the OSM plug-in for me.
