I don't think acquiring a copy is an act of distribution by the acquirer. Besides, the copy you received while acquiring it was not modified by you, so that would not affect the modified version which was never published. AGPL cannot change the definition of the word publish to be different than that of the U.S. Copyright Code.

You don't own the copyright. You don't have the right to download it on to your hard drive (aka "reproduce the copyrighted work in copies"), except to the extent AGPL allows you to.
