⚠️ The trap
'Download' is widely used in Italian, but the native equivalent 'scaricare' (to download/unload) is equally common. 'Scaricare un file' = to download a file. Note: 'scaricare' also means to discharge a battery or unload cargo — context is key.
To say "download (to receive data from a server)" in Italian:
N/A — direct loanword; also 'scaricare'
"download" in English means:
download (to download a file)
Example
"Il download del file ha impiegato 10 minuti."
"The file download took 10 minutes."
