On: Observations of an Internet Middleman

You cannot pull anything from the Internet. Merely request that someone sends data to you.

EDIT: I understand it's an emotional issue but it's true. You can only send packets and hope others will talk to you.

You are downvoted not because of emotion, but because your comment is not germane to the discussion. The reason the GP phrased it the way he did is to make it clear whose volition is at play in the data transfer. The technical details at the TCP level couldn't matter less.
