Most of the interaction will be with MyApps, but the final upload has to go to Click-Updown, because uploading to MyApps directly is a waste of resources (you'd double up the time and total bandwidth required + causing more unnecessary strain on the MyApps servers if we have to proxy all uploads through it).
