I can't download Firefox installer with Internet Explorer 8 on a Server

more options

Whenever I try to download the Firefox installer Internet Explorer makes me add the download server to the list of trusted sites. Then I have restart the download. However, on the Firefox site, everytime you restart the download it sends you to a differenct server which I then must add to the trusted sites, then start over, rinse, repeat toinfinity. Why does this have to always be automatic? Why can't the Firefox site give people a list of servers to choose from and not insist on doing this automatically for us. The automatic part is fine when it works, but there should be some way to override or bypass this behavior in my opinion. If that option is available where is it at? Thanks.

Never mind. The solution was to enable file downloads in Internet Explorer. To do that go to Tools Menu -> Security -> Internet -> Custom Level -> Downloads -> File Download and click enable
