Websites that offer streaming media or media displayed in-browser, such as YouTube, increasingly place restrictions on the ability of users to save these materials to their computers after they have been received.ĭownloading is not the same as data transfer moving or copying data between two storage devices would be data transfer, but receiving data from the Internet or BBS is downloading.ĭownloading media files involves the use of linking and framing Internet material, and relates to copyright law. ISP = internet service provider.ĭownloading generally transfers entire files for local storage and later use, as contrasted with streaming, where the data is used nearly immediately, while the transmission is still in progress, and which may not be stored long-term.
Download data is sent downstream to an end-user, upstream from the provider.
