No ... they don't downld. On my mac, they self terminate (cancel) after attempting to connect for a while (I think they only cancel themselves on macs.) They spam the network. Google Overpeer & you'll get an idea of who they are & who they work for. Their objective is to destroy people's enthusiasm for downlding copyright material. The same people who spam the network with viruses.
