Data flowing from the Internet to a computer.
A convention used to describe features of a DNA sequence, gene or mRNA related to the position and direction (5' to 3') of transcription by RNA polymerase or translation by the ribosome. Downstream (or 3' to) is in the direction of transcription (or translation) whereas upstream (5' to) is in the direction from which the polymerase (or ribosome) has come. Conventionally DNA sequences, gene maps and RNA sequences are drawn with transcription (or translation) from left to right and so downstream is towards the right.

Refers to data flowing from the source, such as an Internet service provider (ISP), to the end user.
This refers to the flow of data (such as web pages) - downstream means from the Virgin.net network to your PC: for most residential users downstream speed is most important as viewing Web pages, checking email and downloading files or applications means sending lots of data to your PC, rather than you sending lots of data elsewhere.
