When
you copy a file from another computer to your own, you're downloading.
In theory, when you view a Web page, you're downloading it to your
computer. But in practice, people say they're accessing (or simply
viewing) a Web page. Typically, "downloading" as a term is used
in reference to files retrieved off the Net. As in, "Have you finished
downloading Netscape Communicator?" "No WAY! Over my pokey modem?
Check back in, like, two weeks." The opposite term, "uploading,"
refers to moving files from your computer to another. If you have
a Web site, you upload new pages to the server (usually space rented
from an ISP) when you want other people to be able to see them.
