Overview

Download showcased video clips collected from the Internet, such as those hosted on YouTube and Google Video. The show also prompted viewers to submit their own videos to the show.

Download also labels the hosts' top 5 favourite video downloads, each one shown just before a commercial break.

Regular segments

  • Top 5 Downloads
  • Fact or Crap
  • Occasionally trying to copy things done on video
  • Crowd involvement on a virtual "Fact-or-Crap-ometer"

Series two introduces several new segments:

  • Celebrity Inbox
  • Bree’s News
  • NCIS (National Clip Investigation Service)
  • Download Upload
  • A total waste of cyberspace

Reception

The Sydney Morning Herald TV critic noted that the videos shown on the show could be viewed as easily on the internet without advertisement breaks, and as such claimed it should be "hosed off the pavement forthwith".[3]

The show only averaged 700,000 viewers on its premiere night and was beaten by the Seven Network's Better Homes and Gardens.[citation needed] Although rating good enough for Ten to retain the show for their 2008 lineup,[4] the show was axed when it slumped to 526,000 viewers in its last aired episode.[2]
