[Download] objects are dispatched by page via the ['download'](#event-download) event.
Note that browser context must be created with the `acceptDownloads` set to `true` when user needs access to the downloaded content. If `acceptDownloads` is not set or set to `false`, download events are emitted, but the actual download is not performed and user has no access to the downloaded files.
All the downloaded files belonging to the browser context are deleted when the browser context is closed. All downloaded files are deleted when the browser closes.
An example of using `Download` class:
Download event is emitted once the download starts. Download path becomes available
once download completes:
```js
const [ download ] = await Promise.all([
page.waitForEvent('download'),
page.waitForEvent('download'), // wait for download to start
page.click('a')
]);
// wait for download to complete
const path = await download.path();
...
