Anything in your error logs?
when you downgraded to IE8 could you download files? Does firefox or chrome work for downloading files? what do you event logs show?
Try disabling you firewall.
Write the exact error message here.
Get the IE to "Compatiblity view" and try again.

I'll consider the repair install.
Test purpose
In IE9 or 10
1. FTP:-Try downloading this file from ftp link ftp://ftp.coreftp.com/coreftplite.exe
If you are able to download this file then ftp part works.
2. Http: Try downloading this file from http link

Post results and if possible screenshot or video.

tried that already. Didn't work.
Well, a system repair install (not full install) is the method to try, at this time. :-(
Do you have any other security software.
Turn off windows firewall and check.

Great. You got it working. :-)

System Repair and In Place Upgrade are not the same thing.
Which was it?
System Repair (suggested by aadih but no info given)
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/create-a-system-repair-disc
which leads to System Recovery Options
http://windows.microsoft.com/is-is/windows/what-are-system-recovery-options#what-are-system-recovery-options=windows-7
In place upgrade (also known as Repair Install) which I suggested. See http:#a39468234 .
