It shouldn't. That would be legit downloads. No opinion on doing the

But connecting and then closing the connection again without doing
anything, is an example of weird behavior. Or doing traffic that isn't
even a http request.
Basically, if you just act normally, it's not a problem. Also, for most
things, a single bad thing isn't enough to trigger it, it has to happen
multiple times within a short time period.
But once you get blocked, the block will not be lifted until more than
one hour pass with no traffic at all from there.

I do know that in Firefox if you click a link to a PDF and then
accidentally click that same link again before the first download is
finished, Firefox will start downloading the same file a second time.
I just tried that with MIM and it does indeed download the same file
twice, however MIM didn't block me this time (at least not yet).
