Managing download of map tiles in QGIS

Geographic Information Systems Asked by Daniella Smith on July 11, 2021

I am very new to the world of QGIS and GIS in general.

I have many questions but will refrain from breaking any conduct rules.

I have been trying to download very large mbtiles using the Generate XYZ Tiles (MBtiles) option in QGIS 3.18 but my system crashes sometimes and I lose data.

I’m sure I don’t fully understand this process but, it seems as though QGIS is downloading a massive amount of tiles from a web-server such as QMS and generating MBtiles from them. My problem is that sometimes this download breaks because of a system crash or otherwise and the process has to be restarted from the beginning.

I have searched for a manager of sorts to pause or resume the download of all this information but to no avail.

Am I doing this wrong or is there a download manager plugin I could install to help me?

Using zoomlevels > 15 will result in very big files... For field survey in an area of 10 km², I use the zoomlevel 12 - 15 or max 16/17. Hope this helps.
