So, correct me if I'm wrong, but downloading files aren't what's illegal here, it is sharing or making them available for others that is the legal issue, right?

As others have said it is illegal to download the files. But the RIAA/MPAA will always go after the people sharing or uploading. When you start distributing just about anything illegally you're going to get a in a lot more trouble than if it was just for you. With p2p networks it's all based on sharing so it's going to be hard to avoid using p2p.
