Based in South Africa? 300 GB local only? I am part of the OpenStreetMap sysadmin team and responsible for the caching setup for tile.openstreetmap.org tile.openstreetmap.org (+ aliases) currently serves around 1950GB per day (no typo), but a South Africa only cache would much more reasonable. I'd love to see a SA cache. > > I do know the tile limits are there for good reasons, processing is > expensive, which is why some of my favourite applications (Locus Pro) is > suffering/blocked. > Locus Pro is a great application, but the amount of tiles it scrapes is unreasonable, specially when multiplied by 1000s of users. An alternative would be the MapQuest Open tiles. The MapQuest Open tiles (OpenStreetMap data) do not have any scraping restrictions as far as I know. PS: http://ftp.up.ac.za/mirrors/openstreetmap/ is a great local mirror of the OSM XML data exports.
