Even though I run a web server on my laptop and some of the pictures go onto that, and I'd generally refer to putting something onto a server as "uploading", I chose "downloading" because when I transfer pictures from a digital camera to a computer, I'm using the computer as a sort of client. Though having said that, if I was actually logged on to the web server at work and transferring stuff from another computer, I'd still refer to that as "uploading".

My rationale exactly. If I had a push mechanism on the camera, then it'd be uploading to the computer.
