The term "download" may also refer to a file that is offered for downloading, has been downloaded or the actual process of transferring the file. Downloading transfers files for local use and storage. Do not mistake this with streaming, where the data is used immediately, while the transmission is in progress.
Such data usually is not stored long-term. Streaming usually is used to display video or audio in a web browser or application. For example YouTube is a video streaming service. Such streaming services even prevent the storage and use of the downloaded data.
Please note that downloading is not the same as data transfer. The term "data transfer" is used to denote moving or copying data between storage devices. Receiving data from the Internet is downloading. The duration of the download is known as download time. Download time is the time needed to transfer a file from the Internet to a local computer, phone, tablet or other Internet-connected device.
The download time is determined by the connection speed between the two devices and the size of the transferred file. The connection speed is determined by the hardware capabilities of the two devices and also the ISP Internet Service Provider that they use. A faster connection speed will result a faster download and shorter download time.
Of course, a smaller file will require shorted download time too. Download speed is the amount of data that is transferred per second between two Internet-connected devices.
