Because you've got a virus/Trojan on your system called downloader.trojan. See this link here (Symantec)

Done a full scan which confirms that the virus is coming from the download links, not my system. Presumably anyone that doesn't have up to date protection will be getting this trojan without knowing it. I was getting the message as it was blocked.
