So you're on IE, and downloading Firefox doesn't work for you? I would suggest you disable your firewall. If that doesn't help, I'll move the product to mozilla.org as that's the proper place for it.
Summary: downloaded file becomes unspecified error → downloaded file becomes unspecified error

What is your setup? Do you have a firewall, and what is it? What's your ISP (you're using a hotmail account), maybe they have a proxy. Are you using Google's Web accelerator, or any web accelerator for that matter?
Component: Download Manager → webmaster@mozilla.org
Product: Firefox → mozilla.org
Version: unspecified → other
using nctc.com, dialup connection, and not using any web acelators or anything.

please try clearing your cache as well (i forgot to mention that previously)
i did..like i said, the file does download, it just will not open upon completion. I usually do not have problems downloading.
Try a different mirror, it is possible that one of the mirrors has a bad file (which is a bad thing and shouldn't happen, but is possible). If need be, I can mirror a known good version, with the SHA and MD5 hash files for it available, so you can confirm it is identical to the file I know is working. I am apt to think it is something in your setup that is broken, but try a different mirror. To get a different mirror, just hit the download link again, it goes through a round robin type download spooler, so you are unlikely to have the same mirror the second time around.
