+<p>You can use the Download Manager Client

+<p>The DRM

+<p>The Symbian platform supports the <xref scope="external" href="http://www.openmobilealliance.org/">Open
+Mobile Alliance</xref> (OMA) download v1.0 open standard and application-level
+protocol that enables reliable content downloads. It can be integrated with
+other services, such as billing, allowing premium-priced content to be made
+available to mobile users. OMA download replaces content object descriptor
+(COD) download as the preferred method for downloading content to mobile devices.</p>
+<p>OMA download improves the mobile device user experience by informing
+users of the success of the content download. This helps ensure that the content
+can be used in the mobile device and that users are not charged if downloading
+fails. OMA download is used on top of HTTP or the wireless session protocol
+(WSP). </p>
+<p>The effort needed to implement OMA download is minimal. An operator
+only needs to create a so-called download descriptor file for each piece of
+content and make simple changes in the HTTP server to enable the OMA download
+protocol. For example, OMA download can be adopted without any changes in
+the billing mechanisms. However, to fully benefit from it, some changes are
+required in order to know whether users received the ordered content and hence
+ensure that they will not be charged if downloading fails. The install notification
+feature of OMA download can, for example, be used as an event that triggers
+billing.</p>
+<p>OMA DRM and OMA download are independent technologies for independent
+tasks. Both promote the mobile content downloading business as well as improve
+the mobile device user experience of mobile content. Content protected by
+OMA DRM can be delivered using OMA download as well as multimedia messaging
+service (MMS), mobile information device profile (MIDP) OTA, and so on. OMA
+DRM and OMA download are standardized in parallel by OMA. For more information,
