Then one of the reason can be that Internet Explorer has the option "Do not save encrypted pages to disk" checked. To solve this you should go to                 IE Tools ->  Internet Options ->  Advanced ->  Security ->  Do not save encrypted pages to disk                  and uncheck this option and try to download the file again.
