[OSM-dev] Out of copyright WMS offering - looking for assistance

[Andy Robinson (blackadder-lists)]

Alas I don't seem to bale able to make the slippy plugin work for these OOC
tiles. Part of the problem seems to be that the plugin insists on
downloading tiles even if I have the auto_download set to false, and
secondly it seems to retry the same tile if the tile is not present and
hence it just continue to retry this tile over and over again without
aborting. Since we only have tiles for some areas this stops the thing
working.

Cheers

Andy
