This is the term used for when people transfer data from the Internet to their personal computer. Downloads could be such things as web pages, pictures, music files, computer games, computer software applications, movies and much more. The primary task of a web browser is to browse web pages. But, most browsers also include a basic download manager. For example in Internet Explorer, right click on a hyperlink, then 'Save As'. However, these download managers are simplistic, and if the download fails, they can rarely recover from the error point. You can however purchase a professional download manager, which can pause and resume downloads, resume broken downloads, schedule downloads and find mirror sites.
