The easiest way I can think of is using your own replays.
osu! actually stores the replay for every score locally.
This means that if you have been playing osu! for a fair amount of time you will have acumulated hundereds if not thousands of replays in the local replays folder.
You can find all these replays in the osu!/Data/r/ folder of your osu! installation (by default this is a hidden folder so you have to enable hidden files).
After that you can simply copy them out of that folder and do with them whatever you like.
The only downside to this approach is that the replays stored in that folder don't have readable name so you'll have to read the beatmap hash from the replays and find out to which beatmap that hash refers. The osu! API or your local beatmap cache (osu!.db) can be used to look up the beatmap hashes.
Edit
If you just want to actually download replays you can also use the osu! API to download the replay of a top score for a certain beatmap. Just make sure that you don't exceed the maximum request rate or your API key may be revoked. If you write a small program for this you can quite easily accuire a large amount of replays.
