1 lately: "Lately" is the right answer here. This term is used to describe "recent events" or things which happened "not long ago". Example: "I haven't been feeling well lately: I've been ill for two weeks".
2 download: "Download" is the answer we were looking for here. To "download" is to transfer files or other data from a server onto one's own computer. Example: "My mother was angry when she found all the videos I had downloaded onto our family computer".

This expression describes being "punctual" or "arriving at the correct hour".
Bruno expects everyone to be on time 1 for the meeting. (2 words)

1 on time: "To be on time (for a meeting)" is to arrive at the meeting in a punctual manner, or at the scheduled meeting time. Bruno instructs Brian to "make sure (he's) on time" for his appointment with Harold Warbuckle.
2 late: "(To arrive) late (to an appointment)" is to arrive after the scheduled time of the appointment, or after it was supposed to begin. Bruno informs Brian that he "will be running a bit late" for the meeting with Warbuckle. "To run late" or "to be running late" is to be behind schedule. For example: I am running very late because of the traffic downtown. Please start dinner without me.
