A student asks for an "other" recommendation through Common App at an integrated school. Will its status show in Scoir?

A counselor sees "download" instead of "send" for a college. What does that mean?
The college isn't set up to receive documents electronically through Scoir. The counselor can download the packet and email or mail it, and the date shows in the Manually Processed column.
