--- Comment #9 from Mike Kaganski <mikekaganski at hotmail.com> ---
The problem is not with IE. It's with out mirrors actually.

Testing the list of mirrors
(http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/5.3.3/win/x86/LibreOffice_5.3.3_Win_x86.msi.mirrorlist)
with online header inspection tool (https://httpstatus.io/) that shows response
headers (in balloon tooltips), I see that most mirrors report Content-Type:
application/octet-stream or application/x-msdownload or application/x-msi.
However, the following mirrors report other types:

text/plain (optionally with different charsets):

http://ftp.ussg.indiana.edu/tdf/libreoffice/stable/5.3.3/win/x86/LibreOffice_5.3.3_Win_x86.msi

application/x-troff-man:

http://ftp.wayne.edu/tdf/libreoffice/stable/5.3.3/win/x86/LibreOffice_5.3.3_Win_x86.msi

I don't know if there's a way to force mirrors to have proper Content-Type; at
least, maybe we could filter our mirror list to exclude those with bad types.
The problem continues to hit quite a number of users, as may be seen at
ask.libreoffice.org site.
