Is it possible to mirror this file elsewhere like rapidshare or filefront? My Firefox isn't letting me download it and I'm very hesitant to use a less secure browser like IE to grab this.
In Firefox, I use an anti-scripting plugin which is intended to protect against unwanted popups, trojan horses, and other nasty things that try to install on my PC. I've had many, many times when a website installs spyware and adware, etc. which corrupts or damages my software, so I never surf anywhere unless it is turned on.
This unfortunately stops some file hosting sites from working (and I only disable the anti-scripting plugin for a few trusted sites like rapidshare and filefront).
I have an antivirus too and update it constantly, but nowadays the spyware/adware tend to move faster. They cause enough problems (including corrupting my PC setup twice) that I just rather avoid infection by not going to suspicious sites. There is no such thing as a perfect antivirus program unfortunately.

Get a Mac.
And you're a little too overcautious there, you aren't gonna suddenly get invaded by hundreds of viruses jsut because you download one thing from megaupload.
