Every time i try to download a file this pops up
Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavaliable or cannot be found. Please try again later.
I've tried to open it in a new window and press control click to open it. Does anybody know what to do?

When IE has trouble finding something on the net, it gives you an error page with a blue "i" info icon and "The page cannot be displayed".
Your error sounds like one from the Web Host. You have successfully connected to the main website, but the specific file or page you want cannot be found. First, I would double check the spelling in the Address bar, you may have typoed...or you might have .html were .htm should be, or - were _ should be, etc.
This may also mean the file is nolonger hosted on the site, or the website has reached it's bandwidth limit and the host has taken the site down for the rest fo the day. In these cases you may want to contact the website that referred you, and let them know they have a dead link.

That means there is something wrong with the server you're downloading from. try downloading from another site. either that or wait like 10 secs for the download to start before closing the window that says the site is unavailable.

You may need to clear you browser cache. If there are too many files or your disk is too fragmented you can get this problem. Also you need to make sure the site is actually up and working (the problem could be on there end)

Try waiting awhile and attempt it again. The server might just be busy. If this happens a lot get a new web browers. Also check to see if your current browser is up-to-date.

you can try a couple of things
one thing is try going back to the site at a later time
or try finding the same download on another site
just do a search for it most things you can download from multiple sites

If you have mozilla then uninstall it and try it on Internet Explorer.
You problem should be solved.

It would seem that the file is no longer there or available.
