Note
A regular -ed form doing double duty: the same spelling serves the past tense (she downloaded it) and the participle after have or be (it was downloaded). It carries every meaning of the verb, too: a muzzle-loader downloaded with a lighter charge, or, in Canada, a service downloaded to a lower level of government. Using it for uploaded, copied or installed is nonstandard; keep it for data received from elsewhere.
