Possibly it's only coincidence. Or windows system restore made a mess of it.
Have you tried cleaning up your downloads manager?
Also creating a new profile or a reinstall in a new empty directory could help.

The links on your URL work for me with a current SeaMonkey Trunk and FF 1.8 Branch build on WinXP. Please test with a new profile. I guess that is somehow corrupt.
