Many times it will be necessary to download files from the Internet, to store on the local machine. The information here is specific to downloading files using Google Chrome.
Google Chrome indicates download progress on the Downloads Bar at the bottom of your tab.
1. Click a link to begin download.
2. When the file has downloaded, click the arrow beside the filename, then choose Open.
3. All downloaded files are listed on the Downloads page, accessible by clicking Show All Downloads on the Downloads Bar.
Note: When downloading an executable file (.exe, .dll, or .bat) using Google Chrome, first confirm the download by clicking Save (or Keep) on the downloads bar. This extra step can prevent malicious software from automatically downloading. If the download URL matches the current list of malicious websites published by the Safe Browsing API, a warning will appear. If you are not sure about download contents, click Discard instead.
