The action of acquiring content from a specific online platform, transferring it to a local storage location. This process enables users to access and view material offline, circumventing the need for a persistent internet connection. An example would be the retrieval of video files for later playback on a computer or mobile device.
This capability offers several advantages, including the conservation of bandwidth, the ability to enjoy content in areas with limited or no internet access, and the creation of personal archives. Historically, this practice has been facilitated through various software applications and browser extensions designed to streamline the transfer process.
