The rendered map is stored as tiles, and you can see the tile number from  
the filenames. The directory structure is /zoom/x/y.png

I haven't used the feature, but one case I think this might be useful, is  
when debugging some t at h rendering problem (although t at h downloads a bit  
more than exactly a tile). eg. a way that has a long segment that doesn't  
show up in certain tile.
