Downloadable Media Delivery is a set of technologies that allow end users to download media file(s) to their computers and then access (listen, view, etc.) this content at the time of their choosing.

There are two main types of Downloads: Progressive Downloads and Straight/Complete Downloads. Progressive Media Downloads allow end-users to experience media accessed via a network such as the Internet, while the media file is still in the process of downloading; as opposed to Complete/Straight Downloads, which cannot be fully accessed until the entire file is received. While Progressive Downloads allow access to the file while it is downloading, unlike Streaming Media Delivery, end user only has access to the portion of content that has been downloaded.

Traditional challenges associated with making downloadable content available to end users revolve around an ability to have enough storage and bandwidth capacity to accommodate mass consumption of downloadable content. With content owners constantly aiming at improving the quality of digital media content, the size of files is growing, thus increasing the demand for scalable and reliable storage and bandwidth capacity.
