I have a T-1 with Verizon and a Comcast Cable modem that boasts superior download speed. I am looking for a way to allow media files being downloaded from our server to travel on the faster T-1 connection and the workers to download external Internet traffic on the Cable connection.

You're overthinking the problem. Hardcode the server's default gateway to be the T-1 line. Use DHCP to push out the Cable as all other station's default gateway.
If you already have DNS and TCP/IP set up correctly for people hitting your server, you shouldn't even have to map ports or change configuration on the router.

Put the users on one subnet connected to the Comcast cable system. Put the server on a separate subnet, connected to the T-1. Install a second NIC on the server with an address on the other (users) subnet so that it is accessible by the internal users.

You need to program your Cisco Router or switch to perform the task. You can set the router or switch to grap the outgoing packets and route them to the T-1 line. You then need to block all incoming packets from the T-1 line. You may need to change your DNS settings to route incoming traffic only to the Comcat connection and remove any reference in the DNS to your T-1 line. That will keep the bandwidth from being lost to traffic coming in the wrong direction.
