Downloads can come in various different forms. The most common are patches for programs to fix bugs, software, drivers for hardware and media.
I regularly download any of these catagories. I often download media from iTunes, as well as various updates and add-ons for my browser of choice (firefox) such as foxytunes, a add-on that lets me control my music through my browser. I also obtained an update for my xbox just last monday.
Downloadable content does have its drawbacks though. Programs such as Torrent download pieces of the program from different people, allowing for a faster download however, this puts the user at a higher risk of getting a virus, as one might be attached to the piece of data being downloaded. It also allows people to illegally obtain anything they want within reason, such as downloading the new Metallica album Death Magnetic instead of going out to buy it.
Overall, I firmly support downloadable services, as it provides greater access to media, software and other such things.
