Just click anywhere on the map. "map download" is the last item on the 
popup menu.

There seem to be a bug in that the zoom level you're looking at doesn't 
get updated. A user-configurable amount of zoom levels below are 
downloaded though. I therefore tend to zoom one level out before 
downloading.

I don't know if it uses etags, but I guess it blindly downloads all. If 
it used etags, then it could save space by not having tens of thousands 
of identical copies of "the blank land tile" and "the blank sea tile".
