A beatmaps pack is a .zip file containing beatmaps. The name of the pack is based on what they contain (e.g. Approved Beatmap Pack #7 would only contain approved beatmaps).
It is worth noting that the most packs are:
Beatmaps packs are split into 4 categories:
| Category | Beatmap types |
|---|---|
| Standard | Ranked or Approved songs |
| Chart | Fortnightly Chart challenge songs |
| Theme | General theme of the songs |
| Artist/Album | Based on Artist/Album |
This is for those who really want to fully complete your song list (and not just download your favourite songs).
Keep in mind that you will need quite a lot of digital space to storage these beatmaps. As beatmap packs (and torrents) also downloads with the video and other beatmap skinnable elements.
Download all the (-/Approved/Taiko/osu!mania) beatmaps packs from the Standard category and nowhere else. The (-/Approved/Taiko/osu!mania) beatmaps packs will contain all the songs in the other 3 categories.
The beatmaps packs can be found and downloaded from: osu! Beatmaps Packs page.
You will need a lot of space (and bandwidth) to torrent all of these packs.
