Since downloads have to pass through the IE cache, try clearing the
Temporary Internet Files (and delete offline content when that dialog pops
up)
Have you tried uninstalling Windows Defender? It's still in Beta. ;-)
Any other security programs running that might be causing this?

Don't have time to look into it further, but so far Windows Defender
does not impress.
