The described technique includes determining, from among at least two lists of filtering rules intended for downloading onto a mobile device, a priority sublist with a high indicator of frequency of actuation of the filtering rules from the list. The priority list is downloaded onto the mobile device. Each of the remaining non-downloaded lists of filtering rules is broken up into parts of a certain size, and a set of groups of filtering rules is formed, in each of whose groups is placed not more than one part of each remaining non-downloaded list of filtering rules. The groups of filtering rules are downloaded onto the mobile device with a certain interval of time until said formed set of groups is fully downloaded. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method for downloading data including filtering rules from a remote server onto a mobile device, wherein the method comprises: determining a first list, from a plurality of lists of filtering rules, having a highest indicator of frequency of actuation of the filtering rules from the list, wherein the filtering rules from the lists are designated for use by a first application on the mobile device;

and a processor coupled to the memory device and configured to: determine a first list, from the plurality of lists of filtering rules, having a highest indicator of frequency of actuation of the filtering rules from the list, wherein the filtering rules from the lists are designated for use by a first application on the mobile device; transmit the determined list to the mobile device with the aid of a second application, the second application on the mobile device being a provider of the filtering rules for the first application; divide each of the remaining non-downloaded lists of filtering rules intended for downloading onto the mobile device into a plurality of parts having a first size; generate a set of groups of filtering rules based on frequency of actuation within each of the remaining non-downloaded lists of filtering rules, wherein each group of filtering rules includes a part of a first non-downloaded list of filtering rules and a part of a second, different non-downloaded list of filtering rules, and wherein in each of whose groups is placed not more than one part of each remaining non-downloaded list of filtering rules;
