Download

In computer networks, to download is to receive data from a remote system, typically a server such as a web server, an FTP server, an email server, or other similar systems. This contrasts with uploading, where data is sent to a remote server..

A download is a file offered for downloading or that has been downloaded, or the process of receiving such a file.

Definition

Downloading generally transfers the whole data object for local storage and later use, as contrasted with streaming, where the data is used nearly immediately, while the transmission is still in progress, and which may not be stored long-term.

Increasingly, websites that offer streaming media or media displayed in-browser, such as YouTube, and which place restrictions on the ability of users to save these materials to their computers after they have been received, forbid downloading in the sense of "receive and save" rather than simply "receive". Downloading is not the same as "transferring" (i.e., sending/receiving data between two storage devices would be a transferral of data, but receiving data from the Internet would be considered a download).

Download (game show)

Format

Round 1 & 2 (Small Screen Game)

Miss Bytes will introduce the first 2 players. The round works with choosing one category, the host will give one letter on the bottom of the screen, another letter will be at the top of the screen, a player gets it correctly gets 1 point and downloading the letter down and the player who got it right will take the answer correctly will get 4 points (in total 5 points). After a contestant says the answer at the top of the screen and then downloaded the letter that was on the top of the screen before and the contestant doesn't know the main answer, if this occurs a letter will be at the top of the screen for someone to guess it, downloading the letter and until someone guesses the main answer right. Sometimes when a letter is on the top of the screen, if 2 contestants do not press the buzzers in time or one contestant guesses the wrong answer/doesn't know and then the other contestant guesses the wrong answer/doesn't know, the host will give the answer and then download the letter and back at the top of the screen to attempt the correct answer. The player with 10 or more points will win that round and come back in Round 3. Round 2 is the same thing but with different players. The player with the least points will get prizes. The categories used were Screen Dreams, Planet Earth, Sounds, True Blue, Techno & Sweating It Out.
