The time to drop support for windows draws near...
I will recommend a real Linux Based Operating System such as Ubuntu:

Thank you for the OS recommendation. :-) Windows has been a pain. As far as
syptoms of this problem
1. Gmapcatcher is connecting to map servers. I can search a location and it
will re-direct to the coordinates.
2. When download is started using operations>download I can see the bits sent
and received in windows network status window.... I do not think it is a
firewall issue because of these symptoms.
3. Using Gmapcatcher on my windows 7 pc i was able to download tiles. I
copied the directory where they were saved and pasted it to my windows 8 pc.
Gmapcatcher loaded the tiles and displayed them correctly.
4. This is just conjecture- I think it has something to do with Windows 8
default program read write permissions. I changed maps.exe permissions to
allow it to read, write, and modify as needed. This did not correct the issue.
5. Ubuntu is seeming like a really great option at the moment.

Te be more clear, i think that GMapCatcher is unable to modify the files saved
in C:\users\username\.GMapCatcher\
It is able to pull information from servers but cannot store it to the hard
drive.

After installing all the requirements:
https://code.google.com/p/gmapcatcher/wiki/devEnv
It works when running from code, Microsoft must have changed one of the dll...

Clarification to previous comment:
After installing all the requirements *UNDER WIN8* it works...

Have you tried creating an installation package under Win8 to see if it works
after that?

it seems the culprit is DNSAPI.DLL

Py2exe is packing DNSAPI.DLL but that dll already exists under \Windows\System32

I just realized that we have to delete DNSAPI.DLL from the GMapCatcher program
folder

I don't have a DNSAPI.dll in GMapCatcher or any of its subfolders.

I you don't have DNSAPI.dll you should not have any problems downloading under
Windows 8
