I'm learning English as a second language at school and I'm in my ~~for a~~ 5th year now. Currently I'm in the advanced level but I want to practice it and improve it. So I wanted to ask you about an English course or lessons that can be downloaded on my PC.

Hi Vessy;
Most free downloads and sites for ESL are quite elementary.

I would recommend the following:
a) a good grammar reference such as Practical English Usage by M. Swan
b) reading (relatively recent) English literature, and studying their sentence patterns (Gutenberg and Google Books have many free editions)
c) Joining EnglishForward and getting comments from native speakers on your own writing.
d) Building your vocabulary by studying academic word lists: http://www.majortests.com/sat/wordlist.php

Happy studying!

Hi, Vessy. Welcome!
As far as free courses are concerned, the BBC, Voice of America, the British Council and others have online courses available. As AlpheccaStars observed, you may already have progressed beyond that level.
Duolingo offers free ESL software, including Android/iOs versions. You would have to check if there is a version for speakers of your language to learn English.
There is a vast amount of written and spoken English available on the internet. Many English language newspapers, magazines and TV news networks have online editions. There are websites devoted to all sorts of subjects. I'm sure you could find English language websites devoted to your hobbies, so you could improve your English while reading about things that interest you. You could also find material related to your other school subjects written in English. Sites such as YouTube have English language videos, and many other sites have videos related to their subject matter.
Vocabulary.com can help you build your vocabulary. As you use it, it assesses your knowledge and adjusts to your knowledge level.
Anki offers free flashcard software you can download. You can make your own word lists to study, and you can also download study material uploaded by others, so you may be able to find something useful already prepared. Anki shows you cards at intervals based on how well you know them, so you learn as efficiently as possible.
