Anyway, in our today's wired world, there is virtually no opportunity to hide something, so don't worry - you (being an US citizen/resident) can download whatever you want, though in discussed case it will make you violator (IMHO, of course).
Actually, this is similar what US-based servers did during strict crypto-regulations - download to non-US locations from those servers was impossible, or you had to "sign" that you are US resident etc. So if US were so strict, why someone else cannot? Or I miss the point? :)
