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 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.
When there is a transfer of data from a remote system to another remote system, the process is called "remote uploading".
