I would say the most common meaning for upload is to push something onto a
remote target and download means to pull something off a remote.  Ie. "I
just downloaded 10 GB of pr0n from that server." or "I just uploaded the
virus to the mainframe."

This is the sense in which we use the terms.

Interesting, I was thinking of the exact reverse. Looks like another up/down problem. Are there other terms? FTP's "put" and "get"?
