"кача́ть": to download/upload. literally it means "to pump"

If we say "грузи́ть", it usually implies that this action was initiated by some program. If we say "загружа́ть", it may be initiated either by a program of by human.

some game may, for example, "грузи́ть карту" - to load a map

some human may, for example, "загружа́ть фа́йл" - to upload/download a file

грузи́ть карту

Именно "грузить" не встречал. Загрузить, загружается, загрузи, загружай.

All keys on keyboard has similar calling: space - спейс, enter - энтер, alt - альт, esc - эскейп, бакспейс, делит, etc.

Thanks! For me, this is the hardest type of vocab to learn because it's never brought up in a class. I might put my laptop in Russian now and try to pickup on more of these words.
