Abstract
A downloading facility for downloading data while rejection of its use may be overridden is provided. In a preferred embodiment, the downloading facility receives a request to retrieve and use an identified body of data. In response, the facility initiates the retrieval of the identified body of data. At a time during its retrieval, use of the identified body of data is automatically rejected. In response to this rejection, the facility provides a user interface for authorizing the use of the identified body of data. During the provision of this user interface, retrieval of the identified body of data proceeds. When the provided user interface is used to authorize the use of the identified body of data, the facility uses the retrieved identified body of data in accordance with the request.
