On option is to use GDAL to make a local copy of the WMS at a given
scale for a particular area. I'm not sure but the Raster menu Translate
tool might be able to do it, otherwise you'll need to do it on the
command line.

I'm sure there are also some other methods, but this is the only one
I've done before.

Thanks,
