downloadable

Can be saved locally

Downloadable describes digital content that can be transferred from a remote source to a local device: downloadable games, downloadable content, downloadable PDF.

The term distinguishes files you can save and keep from streaming content that plays but isn't retained.

In gaming, DLC (downloadable content) refers to add-ons purchased separately from the main game.
