Download
I. The Big Picture:
The Download application allows a site to offer content such as
programs, images, and data for their users to download, to charge for
these downloads when appropriate, and to solicit reasons from the
users for downloading this content. Site owners can use this
application to organize and promote content they feel will be of
interest to their users. The application also enables content
developers to inform people interested in this content of updated
versions, special offers for related content, et cetera. Although any
user can see what content is available for download, only registered
users are allowed to download files, which enables logging of user
information and subsequently allows for the provision of statistics
concerning the demographics of those users downloading of this
content.
