downloading
Pulling from servers
Downloading is the transfer of data from a remote computer or server to your own device.
You download files, apps, movies, music.
The opposite is uploading.
Figuratively, downloading means absorbing information rapidly: Let me download everything that happened at the meeting.
As a noun, a download is either the act or the thing transferred: The download took forever.
