In fact it doesn't download tiles, but you have to import downloaded
.osm or .pbf files (from openstreetmaps) using a tool on your PC, this
tool converts it into a binary format.

sudo apt-add-reporitory ppa:fransschreuder1/osmscout-import
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libosmscoutimportgui0
OSMScoutImport

At the moment it is still having some slight stability issues, but I am
working on that.
