Flagged by what ? Your browser ?

Mixdrop spread its download through thousand of hosts, instead of keeping them on the main one like most file hosting services. Something that is seen by your browser (and possibly few basic anti-virus that would monitor your traffic at high level) as suspicious, reason why the archives are flagged.
