Connecting to an unknown machine and asking what they have, is like knocking on a stranger's door and asking what they're selling. Them mentioning something nefarious and you leaving in response, is very obviously not a crime.

There probably are nefarious content you can see just from the filenames but not everything is like that. Moreover, you "only" know they distribute it, you don't do it yourself.
