I assume you are using Firefox for the download. Have you tried to use another browser?

It is possible that anti-virus software is corrupting downloaded files or is interfering otherwise.

Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

See:

You can try to set the browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone to false on the about:config page.
