The following article contains information on how to download a multitude of files from the Internet including audio clips, documents, PDF files, programs, pictures, and many more. The directions in the following sections work in all modern browsers.

What is a download?

To download is to receive data from the Internet that is to be opened and stored. Downloading should not be confused with copying or saving, which are used to handle files that are not on the Internet (e.g., copying files to another drive). And finally, a download is also not the same as an upload, which is sending a file from a computer an online storage medium.

WarningDownload

Files on the Internet may contain viruses or malware. The best way to protect your computer is to ensure that you have an antivirus and anti-malware program installed and that it is up-to-date.

How to download using different browsers

  1. To initiate a download from a website, you must first click on a download link. A link is usually denoted by different-colored text with an underline, but it may also be an icon or button. If you want to download an audio file, picture, or other media that does not have a link, skip to our download examples for further help.

Examples of popular download types

Apps or programs

One of the most popular types of downloads is downloading an app or program that can be installed on your computer. For PC users these files are .exe files, on Apple computers they are either .dmg and .app files.

Note

Many programs may also be included in a compressed file. If the download file or link ends with a .arj, .zip, .tar, or .tgz see the next section for steps on how to download and extract compressed files.

Below is an example test executable file to run on your computer. This executable file will display the message 'Congratulations you've successfully downloaded an executable program file from the Computer Hope Website.'

Hardware drivers

Today, most drivers are either included in a compressed file or are contained within a self-extracting executable file. Below is an example of a text executable file to run on your computer as well as a compressed file containing the download example file.

Tip

If you're having trouble figuring out how to install the drivers you have downloaded, look for a readme file that has this information. For additional help, use the link below on how to install drivers on a computer.

Compressed files (e.g., .zip and .rar)

Compression techniques are used to reduce file size or package several files together. Compressed files may end with .arj, .zip, or .tgz file extension. After they've been downloaded, these files must be decompressed before they can be run.

Below is an example compressed file called example.zip. Once this file is downloaded, you'll need to decompress the file that contains a readme.txt and a download-example.exe file.

Audio files

Downloading an audio file (e.g., an MP3) from a link is like downloading any other basic file from the Internet. For sites that utilize streaming audio or have the audio embedded into a web page, different downloading techniques must be used that are explained on the link below.

Movie files

Downloading a movie file (e.g., an MP4) from a link is similar to all other file downloads. However, you can also right-click on the link and choose Save link as, Save target as, or the Save linked content as. If the movie is embedded in the web page with an arrow pointing down next to the audio controls, you can use that link to download the movie. Other streaming movie services that do not have a download link may require additional software to capture the video; the link below has further instructions.

Below is an example link to an MP4 video file. To download it, right-click the file and select Save link as, Save target as, or the Save linked content as.

PDF files

A PDF file can be downloaded like most programs. Upon selecting a download link to a PDF file, most browsers open the contents in the browser window rather than downloading them. Below are the steps on how to download a PDF to your computer instead of only viewing it.

  2. Click the Save link as, Save target as, or the Save linked content as option.
