When I wokeup Sunday morning I had noticed it and firewalled the IP downloading the file constantly. The IP didn't match any members or posts here. Maybe it was a roadfly person trying to waste our bandwidth?? 
In any event, links to files or images or movies or anything from this site to others do not work so that is not a concern for me. Direct downloads though with no referrer are hard to block off without blocking legitimate users.
Nothing to be concerned about!?

Spoke to Lomag - it was my PC!! Argh! I've been having trouble downloading files from this site so I set Getright to download the file - it kept coming up "server is busy, retrying" and never got the file. Eventually I gave up and killed it the next morning. However it appears it was downloading it all along!
I've already expressed my apologies to Lomag. So far, in return he's taken my 535d, house, wife, kids....but I drew the line at buying him a new M5
