The festival moved to the "Sunday Markets" site to the west of the circuit. However, in 2008 developments for Formula One meant that the infield was no longer suitable as a festival site. When Download began, it took place on the Donington Park circuit infield as had Monsters of Rock. The forums also provide face to face feedback through the Fan Forum meetings (started in 2006) and organise the Boardie BBQ (2006 on) and the Boardie Takeover night (2009), football tournaments and a pub quiz for the R.I.P. Initially a sounding board for the fans (and critics) of the festival, the boards have become an integral part of the festival organisation with regular contributions from Festival Director John Probyn and Promoter Andy Copping. Although this idea has been dropped in subsequent years, the festival organisers have nurtured an online community through the Download Festival Forums.

The 2003 festival tickets had a code on them, which would allow festival goers to download tracks from bands which had played. Also Download was to be a Monsters of Rock for the 21st century and the internet would provide connectivity with its audience. Downloading was a dirty word in the music industry at the time, due to file sharing, and rock is seen as a rebellious genre of music. The name Download was chosen for the festival for two reasons. Download was initially a two-day event, expanding to three days in 2005. The first Download Festival was created by Stuart Galbraith and co-booked by Andy Copping in 2003 in the same location. The Download Festival was conceived as a follow up to the Monsters of Rock festivals which had been held at the Donington Park circuit between 19. 15.1 Police surveillance and marketing profile collection.
