The answer, from my observations, is that Tor Browser's download function operates via the Tor network,
The downloads may go faster than browsing because browsing is more greatly effected by roudnd-trip trnasit time than downloading is. Web pages also often involve many components that must be downloaded seperately. The warning before downloading -- is confusing -- but was probably placed there in case the user either chooses the "open" action or has configured a default application to automatically open when certain types of files are downloaded. In the last two cases, the user is exposed to the risks described in (d). The short answer, I think, though, is Tor Browser downloads occur over the Tor network.
