Dynamic-link library (also written without the hyphen), or DLL, is Microsoft's implementation of the shared library concept in the Microsoft Windows and OS/2 operating systems. These libraries usually have the file extension DLL, OCX (for libraries containing ActiveX controls), or DRV (for legacy system drivers). The file formats for DLLs are the same as for Windows EXE files - that is, Portable Executable (PE) for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows, and New Executable (NE) for 16-bit Windows. As with EXEs, DLLs can contain code, data, and resources, in any combination.

No Download files are files that you have downloaded, normally from the interent. They can be of any type (e.g. .doc, .mp3, .dll, .exe, etc.) .dll files are Dynamic Link Libraries that are used by programs installed on your computer. Nearly all are needed for your programs to run correctly. Technically, you can download a .dll file but they aren't the same thing :) Downloading a file is something you do TO a file (like read, modify, delete, etc.). A dll file is a type of file.
