1. Types of software on the Internet: To download software, you need to know the differences between the software provided on the Internet. Online software can be divided into two categories: one is free software, which can be used for free, and some even provide source code. Authors of software don't charge, one is because they are generous or think that these softwares are of little value, and the other is to enjoy the software and occupy an important position on the Internet. * * * The author of proprietary software allows users to spread the software to other users. As long as users need the software, they can get the right to use the software after paying a certain registration fee. The other is beta software. If you are a beginner, you'd better not download this software, because it is unstable and easy to cause system crash.

2. Download mode: At present, there are two mainstream download modes. One is to use all kinds of download software in the download area provided by major websites, such as netants and flashget. The other is to use Ftp software tools to obtain Ftp files. Commonly used Ftp tools such as CuteFtp, FlashFXP, LeapFtp, WsFtp, etc.

To use download tools such as netants, right-click the download sign in the download area, and select Netants download or Flash download in the pop-up check box. When the user interface of the software appears, select Add Task in the edit menu and set the saving path of the software. Click Start Download, and you can clearly know the download process through the download progress bar and download percentage in the interface.

Most users of Ftp software need to know the website address (such as 61.143.241.250), account number (such as ftper) and password (such as www.starwcn.net _ Luck) where the download target is located. Take FlashFXP as an example here. In the main menu FTP, select Quick Connect ... or use the shortcut F8. Fill in the corresponding server or Url, username, password, etc. In the pop-up window, and connect to the main server of the download location. In the pop-up interface, select the content to be downloaded in the main server area on the right, and then drag it to the download directory of your own computer on the left to succeed.

3. How to download the software: When browsing online, the browser will display various links in blue and underline. Click on the links and you can continue your online journey.

When clicking such a link, the browser will automatically start the function of downloading the program and prompt to specify the path to save the file. (You can also use Baidu or Google search to find the software you want, and then download it with a download tool, such as flashget or audio-visual conveyor belt. After downloading the file, open the resource browser, find the downloaded file in the folder just specified, and double-click Install. It is worth mentioning that many network files exist in winzip compressed format, which can save download time.
