Yes, and apparently that downloader saves them in a directory that is not automatically used by the net-snmp applications... In particular, the ubuntu version of the snmp* commands has a hardcoded path of /usr/share/snmp/mibs, while the download-mibs utility saves all MIBs in /var/lib/mibs/ietf/ And of course the config files are NOT adjusted to use that path... Plus the downloader does not configure the net-snmp applications to automatically load any of these MIBs, even after you copy them to /usr/share/snmp/mibs. You have to pass -m ALL to each call to make use of them... (At least, that's my experience so far. I might be missing something, though. But at least snmpbulkwalk does NOT work out of the box here, even after running download- mibs).
