The terminology down stream refers to an electrical circuit and where devices are connected into the circuit.

In reference to the breaker that feeds the circuit everything is down stream from it.

If a GFCI receptacle is added into the circuit as the first device, the GFCI can be wired to allow all of the regular receptacles to be protected down stream from that GFCI.

Every device added to the circuit will be down stream from the one that is ahead of it. The only device that will not have something down stream from it will be the last device in the circuit.
