If an HDD has bad blocks and bad sectors, will the files I download be saved in these bad sectors?

If an HDD has bad blocks and bad sectors, will the files I download be saved in these bad sectors?

Generally, no.
The drive will not save to places it can't use.

Are you 100% prepared for this drive to completely fail in the next 5 minutes?

+100500 for the above. This cannot be overestimated. A bad sector is the first call, not everyone gets that. Time for a new one.

You always need to be prepared for any of your drives to fail in the next 5 minutes.
