If you download a Medical Kit with Beverley Crusher (First Contact) for example does the equipment card have to be played at her location or can you play it somewhere else? Thanks.

One classic trick is to begin a mission attempt with Starship Enterprise in orbit, encounter the first dilemma, then use the ship's to download a personnel who can solve that dilemma directly to the planet, where that personnel immediately joins the Away Team and the mission attempt.In the case of equipment, anywhere at that location.
Because special downloads provide a specific location for the download ("here"), they provide special reporting to any ships, personnel, and equipment that are special-downloaded: normal reporting restrictions like native quadrant and compatible facility do not apply
When you use a Special Download icon to download a Hidden Agenda card, you must play that card, then immediately activate it and follow its gametext (targeting something at the location of the special download, if applicable). You may not use a special download to play a Hidden Agenda card face-down. This rule is the exact opposite of the rule for non-special downloads, which require you to download Hidden Agenda cards face-down.
A special download icon on a personnel card is a special skill, and can count for cards like Rascals which add, remove, or count skills. However, an Special Download icon is not a skill dot, so it does not count for cards like Hero Worship.
If a special download inserts a new card into the spaceline, the personnel downloading it must be adjacent to the location where it is inserted. For example, The Emissary must be in or adjacent to the Bajor Region in order to use his special download of Bajoran Wormhole, and must insert the wormhole into the spaceline between his location and the location on his left or the one on his right.
