in the download?" Opposite of save.

is used, sometimes expressed as a percentage of the maximum available.
E.g. "What kind of CPU load does that program give?",
"The network's constantly running at 100% load". Sometimes

of a resource". E.g. "Loading a spreadsheet really loads
the CPU". See also: load balancing.
