Some of these responses ALMOST have the right answer.
Upload and download have to do with which direction data flows, and which device is larger.
You DOWNLOAD music from your computer to your iPod.
You UPLOAD from your USB storage device to your computer.
You DOWNLOAD a web page or a song from a HUGE internet server to your computer.
You UPLOAD the web page you created to the HUGE server that will put you page on the net.

Uploading is sending something FROM your computer TO the internet (for example, you can upload a picture to http://photobucket.com/ )
A download is bringing something from the Internet to your computer. (You download a free trial of a program from a website)
Make sense?

You upload programs that you purchase - Excel for example.
You download free photos for your use or temporary/test programs.
