Downloading Autodesk 2011 products

I have been hearing multiple reports of Internet Explorer 8 preventing individuals from downloading 2011 products from Autodesk's website using the download manager. I have not had any issues downloading. I use the latest version of Mozilla's Firefox. I have also heard many others have had success with Firefox and a few other open source browsers such as Chrome or Safari. I haven't tested with these other apps though. The problem seems to be tied to Windows 7 and 32 or 64 bit OS platforms, however it's likely to be affected in other OS platforms too. So if you have only used IE up to this point, consider this motivation to try another browser out. If your IT department prevents you from installing other software, you have my deepest sympathies!
