Well you wouldn't be able to download anything anyway in Safe Mode unless you choose "Safe Mode with Networking" which tells Windows load the network drivers.

If IE has been updated you can roll it back to the previous version by uninstalling the current version:

Go to Control Panel >> Programs & Features.
Click "View installed updates" in the left panel.
Scroll down to "Windows Internet Explorer 9"
Right-click on it, then left-click "Uninstall".

When Windows restarts you will automatically have the previous version back.
Hopefully that will solve the downloading problem, unless it's caused by something else.
