Download the app for free Russian vocabulary testСкачать is the perfective, and Russian's aspect system is what an English speaker has to notice here. Скачать means to download it and finish; скачивать is the same act seen as a process or a habit. English carries this with tenses — I downloaded it against I was downloading it — while Russian builds it into the verb itself.
The verb is с- plus качать, to pump: the network slang of the nineties was качать файл, “to pump a file”, and скачать is its finished form. There is a fully native alternative, загрузить, but скачать won.
скачивать to download — imperfective

загрузить to load
Ambiguous in a way скачать is not: it covers both directions, so Russians add куда to be clear.
установить to install
