I had the same problem.
Try changeing your cache settings. First clear your cache, then set it to save 0 or 1. And if you use a firewall turn it off.
After I did this the files downloaded fine. This works in Netscape. So it should also work in IE.
But who uses IE?

Actually,

alot of people use IE but I use Avant Browser, but more to the point, I had this problem and the whole clearing cache thing worked for me, but I didn't need to turn off my firewall! Shocked

I had this problem after inadvertantly pressing the "always ask before opening this file" box. I solved this by right clicking the download link and selecting "Save target as". The next time I clicked to download it came up with the usual screen with the box re-checked.

Hope this helps....
