This can happen if the server is sick or very slow.

It first tries to dowload the whole tile.  If that times out (which can
happen for complex tiles) then it will try to download the tile in 10
chunks.  If any one of those fails then it gives up.

The other possibility is that you have not entered your download username
and password correctly in tilesAtHome.conf.  Remember that @ should be
written as %40 and don't put any whitespace in there:

Correct:
OsmUsername=yourname%40yourdomain.com

Incorrect:
OsmUsername   =   yourname at yourdomain.com

80n



and then it stops.  Is this because there is just no data for this
