DownloadVerlaufs

DownloadVerlaufs is a term used in software design to denote a component or feature that records and presents the history and progress of file downloads. It aggregates data from current and past downloads, including status, speed, and estimated completion times, and is commonly presented in a dedicated user interface.

Typical functions include listing active downloads, showing progress bars, and providing start, pause, resume, and cancel actions, as well as an event log for errors or retries. The data model often includes fields such as id, source URL, file name, total size, downloaded bytes, status (queued, in progress, completed, failed), speed, and timestamps for start and end. Some implementations support filtering, sorting, search, and options to export history or synchronize it across devices.

DownloadVerlaufs can be implemented in web browsers, standalone download managers, or integrated into applications that handle media or software delivery. In multilingual software environments, the term is sometimes used in German interfaces or documentation as the native label for the download history panel.

Privacy and security considerations include data retention scope, protection of URLs or file names in the history, and user consent for syncing history across devices. Best practices emphasize minimizing stored data, providing clear deletion controls, and encrypting stored records where appropriate.

While not a universally standardized term, DownloadVerlaufs reflects the broader category of download history interfaces and can be compared with equivalents such as download managers’ history panels, activity logs, or transfer histories in various platforms.
