An interpretation would be to say that what is illegal is to be the original uploader of the file in question, since you don't control the "uploading" aspect of the process when you are simply downloading such a file. Also you can argue that you did not intend to upload it, all you were focusing on was downloading a file which you did not make available in the first place ...
At least I'm sure there will be lawyers to plead this argument.
But of course I'm only assuming that this is how it works, I of course have no idea how downloading and uploading on peer-to-peer works
