Hi everybody, especially peruvian users:
Not exactly a QGIS issue, but this can be useful about the data to work in
it:
Yes, our official geographic agency offers public information as private
information, and cost is very expensive. But looking here and there, we can
download free shape layers to begin with a respectable peruvian
geographical base:
1. ESCALE http://sigmed.minedu.gob.pe/descargas/: topo maps to 1:100,000
scale.
2. INEI: Censo Nacional Agrario 2012
http://series.inei.gob.pe/cenagro-espacial. You can get updated
administrative limits from SEAs (but you have to dissolve twice to get it).
3. GEOCATMIN http://geocatmin.ingemmet.gob.pe/geocatmin/: mining cadastre
and related shapes.

Hi, Josselyn.
I'm a novice QGIS user, so you'd probably wait for someone more
experienced.
WFS (VECTOR) layers are cacheable, meaning you can save them with the
save option (if you have the translated version it shows as Guardar).
But WMS (TILE) layers and Web layers are not cacheable - you can't save
them, and in some cases you can't even print them.
If you want to avoid downloading maps once and again, you could use a
third party software to download the tiles. Look for tile downloader. I
used such approach one year go, but I don't remember the configuration
details.
There is also a work offline plugin. I haven't tested yet, and I'm away
from my computer, so I can't be very informative --sorry!
Another solution I use to apply is georeferencing a downloaded map, since
my country offers free scanned maps for noncommercial usage. But, as I read
on the official ign.gob.pe, Peru *sells* the scanned/shp maps -- and they
seem very expensive.

Dearest Zoltan -
I am running QGIS 2.4 on a Mac OSX v. 10.9.4. I am able to load Vector
layers into a project, but whenever I try to load a map - either
OpenStreetMap, Google Physical, etc - it takes ages to finally load. Is
there a way I can download specific maps to the program instead of having
to load them from the internet each time?
