The invention relates to a resource downloading method and device, and belongs to the technical field of network. The method comprises the steps of providing a transit downloading address of a resource to be downloaded, wherein the resource to be loaded is a multi-vision resource, and the transit downloading address is used for providing the actual downloading address of the multi-vision resource; generating a resource downloading request after detecting that the transit downloading address is selected, wherein the resource downloading request carries at least the operation system type of the side; sending the resource downloading request to the transit downloading address; returning a response message through a transit server corresponding to the transit downloading address, wherein the response message carries the actual downloading address obtained according to the operation system type of the side; downloading the corresponding version source from the actual downloading address when receiving the response message. According to the method and the device, the downloading address is displayed, so that the user can avoid download other version resources due to mis-operation; the network resource can be saved while the downloaded resource runs normally.
