  Downstall or Downstalling

 The term 'downstall' or 'downstalling' is my own term to describe a single operation of one or more installation files temporarily downloading and automatically installing the files as opposed to downloading the installation files in one operation and then later installing them. Examples of downstalling include when you use Windows Update or Apple's Software Update or Symantec Norton LiveUpdate - you downstall the updates.
