In some machines the setting "Custom Level" would be grayed out or disabled. This issue was faced by me for a VPS (Virtual Private Server). This setting was disabled because group policy and the VPS providers were unable to help me. So I had to go with an alternative method (simple!) which may be helpful for you too and save a lot of TIME!.
Aim: Download a setup file from internet and install that in VPS
Problem: Getting error "Your current security settings do not allow this file to be downloaded". Also Custom Level setting was disabled.
Workaround:
1) Access the VPS by RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol using Remote Desktop Connection Application)
2) Copy an alternate browser setup file (I used google chrome) through RDP to VPS and install it.
3) Use the newly installed browser to download.
4) Done. Now enjoyyyy... :)
Simple isn't it. But this problem wasted a lot of setup time in waiting for the support team to solve the issue.
