    Bulk Downloading

Bulk downloading is *strongly discouraged*. Do not download tiles <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tiles> unnecessarily.

In particular, downloading significant areas of tiles at zoom levels 17 and higher for offline or later usage is *forbidden* without prior consultation with a System Administrator <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/System_Administrators>. These tiles are generally not available (cached) on the server in advance, and have to be rendered specifically for those requests, putting an unjustified burden on the available resources.

To avoid having your access blocked, please discuss your requirement with system administrators <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/System_Administrators> either via their wiki pages or on the IRC channel <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/IRC> prior to starting.

You really don't want every xastir user to start getting the following image instead of map tiles.

I run Xastir with OSM tiles.  As I move around on my map and zoom in and out I 
notice that it takes a while to load the tiles.  I think this is happening 
because Xastir has to download the necessary tiles.  Has anyone come up with a 
way to download all the maps you'll need for your area and keep them local so 
if you are in an area without Internet access your maps will continue to 
operate?
