[2] : Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001)

download vt. to transfer data or esp. code from a far-away system
   especially a larger `host' system over a digital communications link
   to a nearby system especially a smaller `client' system. oppose
   upload.

   historical use of these terms was at one time associated with
   transfers from large timesharing machines to pcs or peripherals
   download and vice-versa upload. the modern usage relative to the
   speaker rather than as an indicator of the size and role of the
   machines evolved as machine categories lost most of their former
   functional importance.

[3] : The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03)

download
     
         to transfer data or especially code from one
        computer to another.  the distinction between downloading and
        uploading is hazy but downloading often refers to transfer
        from a larger "host" system especially a server or
        mainframe to a smaller "client" system, especially a
        microcomputer or specialised peripheral.
     
        opposite: upload.
     
        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.
