In opposition to upload, download = save. You're taking data from elsewhere and putting it onto your
device, essentially bringing it "down" from the internet.
Downloading something from the web means that you're transferring data from the other location to
your own device, whether it be your phone, computer, tablet, smartwatch, etc.
All sorts of information can be downloaded from the web: books, movies, software, etc. For
example, you can download movies to your phone to watch while you're on the go, which means that
the actual data that makes up the movie is transferred from the site you got it from and saved to your
phone, making it locally available.
