Downloading is when you copy a file from a webpage to your computer. It's important to know how to download files from a webpage, then find those files when they've finished downloading. We'll also look at the downloads queue, which will tell you how much time a file needs to download and will show you a list of files you've downloaded in the past.
- [Instructor] Another pretty common thing that you're…probably gonna wanna do when you're surfing the web…is to download files from a website to your computer.…Downloading is what we call it when you make a copy of a…file from some remote location to your computer.…Depending on the size of the file and the speed of your…internet connection, downloading a file can be really fast,…or it can take a really long time.…But I wanted to start here on this website, because I know…if I go to this Tours page and I scroll down a bit,…there are a bunch of links here that will lead to files…that can download to my computer.…
I'm looking at these little red buttons underneath…these tour descriptions, now this one is pretty traditional,…if I click on this button, it just goes to another web page,…that's your typical experience when you're browsing the web.…I'm gonna hit the back button here, and I'm scroll down…to a different one.…This button I happen to know will link to a file that…will download to my computer, so I'm gonna click on that…
