    If your firewall is blocking a download then it is doing it's job! You can always create a rule to over-ride your firewall, but beware in doing so because your firewall may have been blocking a possible trojan or worm.

    open the program you are using - go into preferences or options and reset it so that it allows that program to access the internet
