i guess u must be using home plan 250. whaen u open a website, the content in the website (pix,videos,text ect..) are automatically downloaded to a folder in ur computer. these files are erased when u move on to another site. hence when u just browse there is some data being downloaded into ur computer. so every time u open a site u download a few kbs for data to ur comp. i think it is better for u swith to home plan 500 or 900 as they allow 1gb and ulimited download respectivly.

First of all there are various browsers: 1. A web browser is a software application that enables a user to display and interact with text, images, and other information typically located on a web page at a website on the World Wide Web or a local area network. 2. A file manager or file browser is a computer program that provides a user interface to work with file systems. They are very useful for speeding up interaction with files. The most common operations on files are create, open, edit, view, print, play, rename, move, copy, delete, attributes, properties, search/find, and permissions. However - Downloading means: Uploading and downloading are related terms used to describe the transfer of electronic data between two computers or similar systems. Therefore, to answer your question regarding downloading a particular amount of information depends exactly what your ISP allows you to take from the internet. 400 MB is a vast amount, and you probably won't use that much as a nominal person, so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

The 400mb of downloading would be stated with the intention of meaning all data transfered to your computer. Most people define browsing as looking at webpages and downloading as obtaining a file somewhere else other than your cache, but your ISP won't make such a distinction.

Though in actual meaning of download, only files downloaded from sites can be considered as download, for the purpose of calculation of download by the internet providers, browsing is also considered as download. Hence the moment you open any website the meter for calculation of download starts.

You browsing to any site containing online streaming video also included in downloading total. I think you are subscriber of bsnl. Check your account detail, it even counts browsing data transfer, be aware of video viewing, they require more data transfer, you may exceed your limit within hours and that may have an adverse effect on ur pocket. Chatting, browsing, downloading, online streaming, everything counts ! good luck.

browsing is to view anything on the net via a program (ie irc, web browser, pine, etc)
downloading - is the action of your computer receiving information from websites that can include pages, images, videos, music via a program (ex web browser, music applications, irc, etc)
400 mb of data isnt much...you could do that in less than 4 hours oftime on the net, or visiting one site that has a bunch of multimedia on it. dont forget that this can include downloading any emails.

when a company says that 400mb free data download then it means that once u click on to a page that page was downloaded so when you open any website that should be counting in your download data

"Whenever you receive information from the Internet, you are downloading it to your computer. " If you see a picture, or software that you've purchased, and save it to your HDD, (computer) you're downloading.
Browsing.. is nothing more than viewing.. window shopping, looking up information in the yellow pages.. is nothing more than browsing. One does the same thing while connected to the internet through his or her internet service provider,
