D option not listed.
If you're texting, grammar is thrown out of the window, anyway, so if the recipient understands, you're fine.
If you're writing coherent English, downloading and downloaded would be used.

I agree with Lewis. There are no rules of grammar when one has chosen to ignore spelling and grammar.
