<p>The main difference is that git-annex will not try to
download URIs itself, but will try to download URLs.</p>
<p>Also, <code>git annex whereis</code> displays any URIs
claimed by the remote, but not URLs unless
the remote reponds to WHEREIS by listing them.</p>
<p>URLs/URIs are not recorded with a particular remote
owning them, but CLAIMURL can be used for a remote to
claim ownership.</p>

sums it up pretty well, I thought.</p>
