What is the difference between downloading and uploading?
It's all a matter of perspective. If you are loading something to the computer in front of you from another computer it's called "downloading" If you're loading something FROM the computer in front of you to another computer, it's generally called "Uploading". Another perspective is the SIZE and function of the computer. If you're loading something from a server or large computer to your computer, it's downloading. If you're loading something TO a server or larger computer it's called Uploading.

Is downloading music illegal if you do not upload anything. Where in the DMCA does it mention this issue?
Downloading or uploading is neither legal or illegal, it all depends on what it was downloaded for. There are limitation to liability in the DMCA that is if it was intended for a promotional use instead of non-commercial, personal use, then that person is violating the DMCA. This was addressed as The Supreme Court stated in MGM vs. Grokster in 2005 that one who distribute the device to promote it's use to infringe copyright is liable. However, the DMCA does not completely outlaw redistribution of materials in anyway whether in person, or through Torrent or p2p clients or elsewhere online. And once a distribution is made, the Artists has no control of them. You owns what you possess and it's your right to do whatever you want to with it. As long as the materials were distributed or released under agreement of the authors or inventors, you do not need the authorization to redistribute them to another person or make many copies as you want. This is exempted from the DMCA notice. File sharing does not by itself infringe copyright and so therefore it's not illegal to download or upload anything as long as they are intended for personal use. - I worked as a trial Lawyer and graduated from University of Georgia for nearly 7 years.
The transfer of an HTML file from one host to another is?
Uploading or downloading, depending on your point of view. If you are the machine that had the original file, and you are moving it, it is often called uploading. If you are retrieving the file from a remote machine, it is always called downloading. The only time that these rules are broken is when you are downloading something from a server. Servers do not "upload" the file to you. You download it from them, and the verb used to describe that action is "serving."
