(noun) the pertinent information on a topic or that which has resulted from a particular interaction or situation, generally used in the context of providing someone with it, as in “Let me give you the download from the meeting”; by using this term one can pretend that both speaker and listener are items of networked computer equipment; in lieu of this word this one can just as easily ask what was discussed or how the event went, although this has a sterner cast to it; similar to brain dump, but implies greater finesse in the delivery
