investigate downloading goods and services
The different types of things I have downloaded from the internet are:
ð Songs
ð Song lyrics
ð Exam papers
ð Free virus scans
ð Computer games
ð Download the latest Real Player
ð The latest Window Media player
ð Download some movies


The reason to download all these online and not go to the shops and buy them is because it is easier to do it online and it saves you time. Even though it is illegal to download things like songs of the internet it is free and it downloads the documents and products very quickly. If you go to the actual shops then you have to pay for song DVD’s like about £5.00 whereas doing it at home is completely free and it does not require you to move or walk to shops. Sometimes the video shops or the games shops are far and it takes long to walk there. The downloading service has fulfilled its purposes because it finds you what you want to download and if they haven’t got what you are looking for they will bring up related searches so either way they give you options of downloading what you want.
Problems you can have:
ð Sometimes there are some problems that can occur while you are downloading things if the internet
ð The server might have an error or the website
ð Sometimes you think you’ve got the file you want but in actual fact the file is different
ð The downloading can go up to half-way and stop because of errors in the file you are trying to download.
ð Sometimes the connection freezes and your whole computer stops which will mean you have to start downloading your file again.
ð The graphics sometimes will be missing because the website might have some problems with it.
