  • In computer networks, to download means to receive data to a local system from a remote system, or to initiate such a data transfer. Examples of a remote system from which a download might be performed include a web server, 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, or the process of receiving such a file. It has become more common to mistake and confuse the meaning of downloading and installing or simply combine them incorrectly together.
  • The inverse operation, uploading, can refer to the sending of data from a local system to a remote system such as a server or another client with the intent that the remote system should store a copy of the data being transferred, or the initiation of such a process. The words first came into popular usage among computer users with the increased popularity of Bulletin board systems (BBS), facilitated by the widespread distribution and implementation of dial-up internet access in the 1970s.

  • When applied to local transfers (sending data from one local system to another local system), it is often difficult to decide if it is an upload or download, as both source and destination are in the local control of the user. Technically if the user uses the receiving device to initiate the transfer then it would be a download and if they used the sending device to initiate it would be an upload. However, as most non-technical users tend to use the term download to refer to any data transfer, the term sideload is sometimes being used to cover all local-to-local transfers to end this confusion.

  • And if you’re not in the US and think SOPA is something that’s happening far away and won’t affect you, think again. If passed into law, our lives online will be very different.
  • If passed, the act will give the United States Attorney General the ability to close down websites which infringe copyrights, as well as ban them from using online paying facilities such as PayPal and Visa.
  • YouTube may have to rethink its set up as it was created as a platform on which internet users could upload, watch and share videos with each other on the internet. When uploading a video onto YouTube, users are faced with a message stating

      Shows some videos that would be an example of what would get taken down with the SOPA and PIPA acts.

  • The dynamic, user-friendly interface of the Internet as we know it today, is breathed life into by a multi-layer global network system that connects hundreds of millions of computers. This large system is comprised of multiple local and global networks serving private, public, business, academic and government purposes, which allows for the exchange of data between more than a hundred Internet-linked countries worldwide. This makes the Internet an enormous carrier of various information resources and services, such as text and multi-media data, email, online chat, VoIP, file transfer and file sharing, ecommerce, online gaming, etc.
  • The explosive growth of the Internet over the last decade is attributed to two basic reasons - the non-centralized management of its development and the non-proprietary nature of its main functional units - the Internet protocols. This 'freedom' of the Internet determines its balanced organic growth and prevents it from suffering the consequences of monopoly.
