Downloading - This is moving a file that's out in internet cyberspace onto your computer. For most of us, downloading is just a matter of clicking a download link on a web site and saving the file to disk.
Installing - This is often confused with downloading, but it's different. When you install something, you basically unload, or open, the downloaded program files on your computer so you can use it. Normally this is done via a setup program or "wizard" to make installation easy. Once you're finished installing a program, you can run it from your Start Menu, or whereever you downloaded it to.
Uploading - This is the opposite of downloading. With uploading, you transmit data from your computer to a network. An example of this is uploading a picture from your computer to an oline photo website so you can share your photos or have them printed up.
