Are you using a work computer to download the files?  If so then I would
be careful but otherwise I see no issue there.  Where I work we have a
computer that can be used for whatever we please* but that isn't the
case everywhere.

* Whatever we please as in we can go anywhere and install whatever we
want on it.  This is not the case for our work computers.  Requested
installations have to be approved by the IT department with valid
business justification.
