The filename doesn't matter; it happens with every filename. I just retested
with a simple (24K) uploaded Word document titled "Test.doc". It will start a
download progress popup, echoing back that it is downloading "Test.doc" and
showing 0% progress, but it is immediately overlayed by two more error popups -
one from IE saying it couldn't find/access the resource, and one saying that
WINWORD.EXE is dying and a log is being generated (don't know where this goes).

I assumed there was a known problem with accessing some resources from IE
address bar, but couldn't find much in Microsoft's Knowledge Base. Could be
related to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/953166, another problem where a page
works when clicked as a link but not when typed in the address bar.
Or saw another report that similar things happen if expiry HTTP header is set
to now or in the past.

This reportedly also affects people who wish to upload a document then email
its URL to a bunch of others. The links apparently don't work when clicked in
Microsoft Outlook either. Work-around for now is to mail the Image: URL
instead, requiring two clicks by receiving users.
