IE7 download weirdness

[alex_read]

Possibly the cookies setting I've got set to "accept all cookies" (though not for long now I've spotted that). All other settings should be the default and I've just clicked to restore the normal and advanced settings also.

Can you get to the site (not that file) ok? can you ping this - I get an address of 87.106.191.9 for that site here.

Changing the cookies setting makes no difference and yup can navigate to all other pages on the site (I'm a programmer for the company that owns the website btw)
I've looked at the settings on the web server too but cant see anything that would result in being able to download the file using one browser but not with another. Even stranger that you can download it using IE on your machine. I've tested it using a machine thats on a different ISP now as well, and that got the same error message

Wouldn't play with the web server at all as I can access this externally fine. This could point to a block,redirection or setting from your computer or network.

Can you run a ping durell.co.uk and does this come back with the IP address listed above? Can you download files from other sites ok? Can you download zip files from other sites ok?

Edit & update: have just asked someone else to try this from a different ISP in the UK/different country to me to prove this site works. I'm afraid its something to do with your network or pcs there.

pinging works fine, and i havent seen any problems downloading other zip files before

so it worked ok for the guy u asked in the uk? I've tried it from my home pc which is on a different network & ISP and that didnt work either, the only link between the systems is me!! maybe im cursed... seriously though this is quite frustrating, and google is being of no help at all. Have you (or anyone else reading) ever experienced this error before?
