From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
download vt. 1. [techspeak] To transfer data or (esp.) code from a larger `host' system (esp. a {mainframe}) over a digital comm link to a smaller `client' system, esp. a microcomputer or specialized peripheral. Oppose {upload}. 2. [jargon] To fetch data (especially large relatively standalone pieces of data like files and images) over the wire from a remote location. However, note that ground-to-space communications has its own usage rule for this term. Space-to-earth transmission is always `down' and the reverse `up' regardless of the relative size of the computers involved. So far the in-space machines have invariably been smaller; thus the upload/download distinction has been reversed from its usual sense.

De-Militarised Zone (DMZ) (From the military term for an area between two opponents where fighting is prevented) DMZ {Ethernets} connect networks and computers controlled by different bodies.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
download To transfer data from one computer to another. Downloading usually refers to transfer from a larger "host" system (especially a {server} or {mainframe}) to a smaller "client" system, especially a {microcomputer} or specialised peripheral, and "{upload}" usually means from small to large. Others hold that, technically, download means "receive" and upload means "send", irrespective of the size of the systems involved. Note that in communications between ground and space, space-to-earth transmission is always "down" and the reverse "up", regardless of size. So far the in-space machines have invariably been smaller; thus the upload/download distinction has been reversed from its usual sense. [{Jargon File}] (2003-11-04)
