I could reproduce this error on 2 different servers:

Server 1:
Windows 2000, Drupal 5.7, Image module 1.6, php 5.2.5, mysql 5.0.45, private file download method
Server2:
OpenBSD 4.2, Drupal 5.7, Image module 1.6, php 5.2.3, mysql 5.0.45, private file download method

Description of problem:
When a user role does not have the view original images permission, this role cannot download a non-image file attached to a node using the upload module. I have the problem with both .zip and .txt files so the problem does not seem to relate to the filename extension.

The error message that displays on screen is in the attached screenshot.

Looks like a bug to me as the permission parameters for the image module should only affect image files (JPG, etc.) and not other file types.

I can confirm that. Didn't we fix this before...? Sounds familiar to me.

Release 1.7 installed and working fine. It fixes the issue as you suggested.

It looks like, when I checked the lists if issues before to post this one to see if it was duplicating another one already posted, the other dealing with the issue (http://drupal.org/node/187054) had been closed for 2+ weeks and I did not dig deep enough through the pages of issues to find it (or I missed it).
