Download

Download is the term used to describe the act of retrieving a file from a computer server through a network (i.e. the Internet).  For example, you download a file when you request a document or media file from a web site, and you also download a file simply by visiting a web page.  In fact, in that case you download several files – the web page itself, the images, sounds, and any other data needed to deliver the web page to your browser.
