When you "download" a file, you are given the option to "open" the file or "save" it. Once the download has finished, it is stored in a temporary directory if you chose to "Open" it. If you chose to "save it, it is stored in the location you specified.
I always choose "save" so that I can run a good virus scan on it before I open it.

Hi
Well technically both are the same , cause if you download a file from the internet it will be save no matter what , unless of course you choose to OPEN the file instead of download. So besically both are the same

Same thing, to run any file on your computer it is downloaded to your coputer. If you are using IE and click open or in firefox and choose to run with a certain program then it stores the file in a temporary storage and deletes it when you are done with it. Saving it to the computer allows you to specify where it is saved and it is not deleted after you are done using it. Basicly either way you're still "saving it to your computer" just that one is temporary.

Really there's no difference - downloading is just a term that is commonly used that means saving a file from the internet onto your computer

Just the same thing but I'll tell you an example for your conclusion, If you download a file compressed in rar or zip from the internet, you say you "downloaded" it to your computer but this file needs to be uncompressed and then you say once uncompressed that you "saved" it in your computer.

you'd be more suitable positive off saving the document for your pc; test it for viruses first; and then, if all clean, run it. this type you've a reproduction of it in case you want to run it again, quite of dropping time downloading it, to boot as threat-free contained in the understand-how that it truly is virus-loose.

Downloading and saving are the same thing.
When your download it asks you to save or open the file or run it.
if you open or run it, it will create a temp file.
if you press save then it asks you where you want to save it.

download puts it in a temporary area, if you dont save it stays there and can be deleted easily.
