how to download zip and exe files when you are blocked by adminstrator or by server?

One common method is to change the file extension before downloading the file. For example, if you're trying to receive a ZIP or EXE file as an email attachment, have the sender rename the file from "something.EXE" to "something.TXT". Frequently, the blocking software will ignore files with safe extensions like TXT. If you're trying to download the EXE/ZIP file directly from a site, have someone on a non-restricted computer download the file for you, then rename the extension and then email it to you.

You might want to check to see if you have pop-up blocker active or installed, that might have stopped the download.  Are you getting any particular error messages?

You don't; it's part of Windows, and can't be downloaded.

This problem occurs because Microsoft thinks that any attempt from a website to essentially "download" files onto your computer is a threat. This message is essentially like an integrated pop-up blocker but in my experience it usually ends up blocking what I need to access to download a form of an update. What you need to do in order to get around it is click on the yellow bar and let IE know that it's ok to download and install the ActiveX controls from this site. Or get a better browser like Firefox. =)

Does the source file exist? Doesn't your firewall block downloading components?

Generally zipping a file will not block it.  It sounds like they have their security setting a bit too high.  I receive attachments all the time and rarely are they blocked.  I am using Outlook 2003 as well.

The downloaded item has been blocked by your security settings for IE, or is no longer available at the source. check your settings in tools>preferences> security and adjust as needed.

Double click and Extract. If you have unzipping software, then it should be easy.\n\nIf you don't: www.winrar.com

Easiest way is to rename the file to a plain text file (*.txt) (and obviously change it back before trying to play it).\n\nMost file blockers are pretty basic, and use the file extention to determine the type of file. Anything binary they stop, since it could contain a virus. Given Windows' reliance on file extensions, rather than headers, to identify files, i'd imagine MSN would be fooled by this as well.\n\n.zips are generally blocked, too, since they can contain executables.

Usually the IT or network administrator bans that from being downloaded.

you mean blocked..\n\nSo what you need to do is try to find your self new bitorrent headers (encrypted headers). So your isp wont block you.\n\nYour ISP blocked some bitorrent headers which will not allow you to download them. Or you have some restriction on your computer.\n\nEither find a way (online) to get encrypted headers or get yourself a proxy

You can get trial versions of the latest winzip (http://www.winzip.com) or WinRar (http://www.winrar.com) products. Older versions are FreeWare, which open most files ok.
