  • 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.
  • 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.

The words first came into popular usage among computer users with the increased popularity of Bulletin Board Systems (BBSs), facilitated by the widespread distribution and implementation of dial-up access the in the 1970s.

On-again off-again iPhone app Podcaster is on again, sort of - 0 views

  • The developer who has already had his iPhone app denied from Apple's App Store and had his ability to issue Ad Hoc licenses of the app revoked by Apple is hoping that the third time's a charm
  • Podcaster first made news last month when Sokirynsky made it known that his application had been rejected from the App Store for duplicating the functionality of iTunes. The third-party app allows users to download podcasts to their iPhones or iPod touches. Users could then listen to the podcasts immediately instead of having to sync with a computer first.
  • Apple then denied Sokirynsky the ability to distribute any more ad hoc copies of the application.
  •  
    Look at what apple is doing to protect their own hold on the musical pursestrings of society with this.
  •  
    Apple is quite protective of the uses of their devices and although they allow the development of "apps" -- they made waves recently when they denied the app that allows people to download and listen directly to podcasts w/out synching w/ the computer. Mobile itunes doesn't offer this feature. So, there is "open" and truly "open." Iphone apps store isn't really open, if this is true.

Online Piracy Alert System to Begin This Week - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  •  
    This week the Copyright Alert System is being put into effect on the Internet. The system is used as an alert to companies about copyright infringement on their websites. Now when people on the Internet attempt to copy and paste a company's work onto their own work, they will receive a series of warnings. Media companies will observe online traffic and report to Internet providers if they think work has been downloaded illegally. The person who did this will receive up to six warnings and after that service providers can stop their Internet flow or give them up to a $35 fine. This relates to the sharing of information through Web 2.0 because people's work that they upload can be stolen or plagiarized, and this is helping to prevent that by discouraging the stealing of work.
