You can't import videos into Scratch so the download video block shouldn't exist.
IMO, only the download text block would be a good idea, since the others can simply be downloaded by viewing inside.

when green flag clicked
download (computerirus.png)

This could be used to install malware and computer viruses. It would have to be a button and not a block, so that the project couldn't go like this:

May you please tell me where it gets saved? If it gets saved into the computer's files then no support because people can use it to download NSFS/W stuff onto your computer, if there is a section that would be added to scratch that would file everything that you saved/downloaded the support, as it can really help big platformers and other things you want to save.

In that case, I think only the download variables, lists, and text blocks should be implemented. And as in reply to your question, I was planning to download it to the user's computer, but I think your idea of saving the files to a new page of scratch is better.

download [filename.txt] [contents]::custom-arg // Plain Text Only, stored in a special location 
set [foo v] to (upload [filename.txt]::custom-arg)

What exactly do you mean?

These blocks would be used to download items to a new page on the scratch servers or the user’s computer. Examples: the value of variables, the values of lists, or text. Uses are: can be used to download files from an operating system simulator, can save game data and not lose progress, and other things. And these files will be locked to the user who download/ uploaded them so they can’t be used to make chat rooms or as a replacement for cloud variables. And so scratch doesn’t lag, it will transmit data 256 bytes a 1 tenth of a second. This is equivalent to the speed that cloud variables update.

download variable [ v] to [ v] :: list
Lock file [ v] to [] :: list
download list [ v] to [ v] :: list
download text [] to [ v] :: list 
upload file [ v] from [ v] :: list
(upload file [ v] from [ v] :: list)
<file type is [ v] :: sensing>
(file count uploaded to [ v] :: sensing)
(count of [ v] files on [ v]:: sensing )
(file [ v] :: list)
<file [ v] uploaded to [ v]? :: list  >
<file [ v] downloaded to [ v]? :: list >
