[OSM-talk] tile downloads

Hi,

I'm a little unclear if this is the method I should be using to ask about acceptable use of the tile.openstreetmap.org server, but here goes:

The Adler Planetarium runs a high altitude ballooning program for kids and when we are out in the field chasing and retrieving the balloon we need the ability to plot the current location on a locally served map. I'd like to use the tiles (down to zoom
level 15 but no further) for the regions that the balloon usually travels over. We are a non-profit with limited resources and this would be a one-time download of something on the order of 1GB of tiles. It could be done over a period of a week or two.
Does this qualify as acceptable use? Or should I install Mapnik etc.?

Thanks,

--Geza Gyuk
