its the oppisite of upload.
Uploading and downloading are related terms used to describe the transfer of electronic data between two computers or similar systems. Their primary usage is as a verb: to upload is to send data from a local system to some remote system, such as a website, File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server, or other similar systems. To download is to receive data from a remote system.
In general use, the terms do not refer to the basic communication required for the operation of the software including connecting to an FTP server or requesting and receiving data displayed in a web browser. Instead, they are reserved for the specific and intentional act of transferring a file.

When computer files move from one computer to another, the computer receiving is said to "download" the file. The computer sending is said to "upload" the file.
