Pengunduh

Pengunduh is a term in Indonesian that translates to "downloader" in English. It refers to any software application or program designed to facilitate the downloading of files from the internet. This can include a wide range of tools, from simple web browser built-in download managers to more specialized applications.

Web browsers commonly include a basic pengunduh function that allows users to save files like images, documents, and videos that they encounter online. More advanced pengunduh applications often offer features such as faster download speeds through parallel downloading, the ability to resume interrupted downloads, scheduling downloads for later, and managing multiple download queues.

The term can also be used more broadly to encompass software that specifically downloads content from platforms like YouTube, social media sites, or torrent networks. The legality and ethical implications of using certain types of pengunduh can vary depending on the content being downloaded and the terms of service of the source platform. For example, downloading copyrighted material without permission is generally illegal. In essence, a pengunduh is a tool that enables the transfer of digital information from a remote server to a local device.
