Hello
Actually, it goes like this:
You have downloaded STL-, OBJ- DAE-Files first open in Cura, and after you've made your individual settings, you have to go to: "File" > "Save GCode..."; so that your object is sliced (converted) to machine code.
Do not Forget: The target path for the generated GCode files must of course the SD card to be selected.

Hey There,
Welcome to the 3D printing world!
I'm not sure what you're downloading, but you need to download .STL files. Then you can open them up in Cura, they'll appear as a yellow model. From there you scale/move/select your print settings, wait for it to generate the Gcode, (little progress bar under the floppy disk) and then copy the .GCODE onto your SD card by clicking on the disk once it's done processing.
Your printer should be able to print the file then.
so recap:
INTERNET -> STL file -> CURA -> .GCODE -> SDCARD -> PRINTER
You can get things to print here:
