I'm not asking to debate the issue, I'm genuinely asking for information.

Yes, that's correct. Copyright protection depends on where YOU are, not where the file is. It would be a copyright violation for you, in the US, to download the files, regardless of where the files are located, whereas it would be legal for me to do so, because the books are in the UK public domain.
