Since I am a dropbox user for some private cloud data, I saw this and felt I should comment. Since I have made some data available for public consumption on dropbox the domain dl.downloadusercontent.com didn't seem unusual to me. The fact that there are 50 potential files that were a threat at one point is not surprising for any company that allows users to post data to the general public. If one is unsure about the legitimacy of DropBox's domains, you can find a list here:

My final word of warning is that no matter what domain you download files from (even from a trusted location), one should always be careful.
