In my experience, this is a bug in IE which the vendor (Microsoft) won't fix.
The cause: selecting the action in the yellow bar refreshesthe page with the
new security settings, but does not refresh the actual (download) link that
triggered it.
Your best bet is to work around it by displaying a download page, with a
message like "Thank you for downloading. The download should start
automatically. If not, you can [start it manually here]". The bit between
square brackets is then the download link, which is also added to the page
header in a meta tag like this:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2;url=[download link]"/>
