It took a long time to figure out what was going wrong since on all the other browsers the file was able to download but IE (6,7 & 8) . Tried a lot of things which the forums said but at last at last found the solution.
Microsoft agrees this as an issue of IE and they have given the patch here. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/323308
And also if a header was added as "CACHE-CONTROL":"NO-CACHE" it will not work on IE even with the fix MS given. It should be changed as "Cache-control:no-store".
It sucks that the clients have to make changes to their systems to get this to work. I wonder how feasible it is for an internet facing site to convince their users to make changes to their registry.
