I'll take a look at having a map project setting file for easier resumption of map downloads - may take a while to implement though.
About Google Satellite images getting blocked - there's no real solution (IP block expires after a few hours). As for using Google Earth tiles - if you can code it yourself there was gaia ( http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/200...gle-earth.html ) and I suspect the way things work hasn't changed much since. However, adding it to GMDL is not possible for potential legal reasons (Google seemed quite upset with gaia and got the developers to pull the project).
