In networks, to download means to receive data to a local system from a remote system, or to initiate such a data transer. Examples of a remote system might from which a download might be performed include a webserver, FTP server, email server, or other similar systems. A download can mean either any file that is offered for downloading or that has been downloaded, the process of receiving such a file.

The inverse operation, uploading, is the sending of data from a local system to a remote system, such as a server, with the intent that the remote system should save a copy of whatever is being transfered, or the initiation of such a process. The words first came into common usage among computer users with the advent of dial-up Bulletin Board Systems (BBSs) in the 1970s.

Download

The use of the terms uploading and downloading often imply that the data sent or received is to be stored permanenently, or at least stored more than temporarily. In contrast, the term downloading is distinguished from the related concept of streaming, which indicates the receiving of data that is used near immediately as it is received, while the transmission is still in progress and which may not be stored long-term, whereas in a process described using the term downloading, this would imply that the data is only usable when it has been received in its entirety.

Increasingly, websites that offer streaming media or media displayed in-browser, such as YouTube, and which place restrictions on the ability of users to save these materials to their computers after they have been received, say that downloading is not permitted. In this context, "download" implies specifically "receive and save" instead of simply "receive".

What website allows people in India to download the online game MapleStory?
Q. My friend just went to India and we want to play MapleStory together. He tried to download the game onto his laptop in India, from the Maple Global English Site, but when it started to download it said it would take two days to download. Then when my friend let the computer begin downloading MapleStory, the computer shut off the download and left him with a Error message.

A. The English Global MapleStory has switched to be mainly North American now, so it's no surprise to me that your friend has had some trouble. This doesn't mean he can't ever play. I'm posting a link to Maple SEA, a version that I believe he will be able to download with little errors. If he still wants to play Global with you, try searching for the most recent version of Global on another website. Maple SEA:

What is the fastest download accelerator?
Q. I have Download Accelerator Plus but i dont feel its fast enough. I have unlimited plan in broadband. So my download speed doesnt cross 40kbps. Any other download accelerators which could make the downlaod faster?
Asked by Cool guy - Mon Sep 14 12:06:09 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. No Download Accelerator/Manager can speedup your download speed. Download speed depends on Two things. First is your DSL Plan, if ur plan is 256kbps then your download speed will be around 32 kbps. In a simple way download speed is 1/8 of DSL speed. Second is the site from where you are downloading. Note there is a difference between surfing and downloading. So if you want to speedup downloading go for 1 or 2mbps plans.
