When you click a download button, your browser sends a request to the server that hosts the file

you
want to download. The server then sends the file to your browser in chunks. The browser saves the file
to your computer as it is being downloaded.

The download button algorithm is relatively simple. When you click the download button, the browser
first checks to see if you are already logged in to the server. If you are not logged in, the browser will
prompt you to do so. Once you are logged in, the browser will send a request to the server for the file
you want to download. The server will then send the file to the browser in chunks. The browser saves
the file to your computer as it is being downloaded.

Here is a more detailed explanation of the download process, using an example:

1.You visit a website that has a file you want to download.


2.You click the download button for the file.
3.Your browser sends a request to the server that hosts the file.
4.The server checks to see if you are logged in. If you are not logged in, the server will prompt you to
do so.
5.Once you are logged in, the server sends the file to your browser in chunks.
6.Your browser saves the file to your computer as it is being downloaded.

Once the file has been downloaded, you can open it or save it to a different location on your computer.
