Hi,
My problem here is about downloading a file from a website. It fails and the message comes up, "Internet Explorer cannot download".
Windows Internet Explorer
Internet Explorer cannot download / from windows.
Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later.
I experience this error, when I am about to collect some documents by download. I don't have any problem loading the site and browsing with the links. The problem only occurs, if I have ever downloaded documents from the site.
One thing I did, was to check on my Antivirus Firewall, there is no restriction on accepting files. I also checked on my hard drive space, still have a lot of free space.
Please help me find a solution, for my download problem.

The problem may be the LAN connection, the computer or the browser. Internet Explorer is unable to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later. The first thing you have to do is check the connection if there's any problem. After that check all the attachment and downloads. Anyway, side by side these solutions also visit this Techyv post to get more information about this issue.

Hi,
Firstly delete all browsing history in internet browser by selecting tools and then history then select delete browsing history.
Then check your downloads to see if any files are displaying if not then check your PC download folder to see any files saved there or not you can also see it by searching in windows search tab.I highly recommend to use Google chrome and stop using internet explorer.
