Download services:

Downloading data from the interent is a useful resource. It can save the user from going out of their way to purchase the phyical item which would use fuel etc.

Items my family have recently downloaded are:

Music - Saves space (No CD's but the songs can be burned onto a blank CD if wished)

Videos - Downloading my favorite movies and TV shows means i can watch them when i want instead of having to be free when a certain program is on TV

Patches for programs - Patches can be downloaded to update a program on your PC. there help to keep the program running as it should.

Programs - I have downloaded a program to convet MP4 files, that were only usable on iTunes, to MP3 so i could use them outside of iTunes.

Downloading data saves travelling expensives, which i guess is good for the planet as it means less pollution. The only problem is that large files can take a while to download onto your computer. Also if the file is from a free website it can contain viruses etc that can harm your machine. Trusting some software downloads can be risky.

make sure you answer any question to the fullest, for example you haven't mentioned DRM, file compatability problems, etc. Ask me if you need more advice / help.
