Downloads

It is the act of copying data (usually

an entire file) from a main source to
a peripheral device. The term is
often used to describe the process
of copying a file from an
online service or
bulletin board service (BBS) to one's
own computer. Downloading can
also refer to copying a file from a
network file server to a computer on
the network.

The opposite of download is upload,

which means to copy a file from your
own computer to another computer.
