Hello Vishnu458,
The error "INET_E_DOWNLOAD_FAILURE" means that your MS Edge or Internet Explorer browsers have corrupted temporary files, cache, or cookies, and the site's content could not be downloaded. However, IE compatibility mode in Microsoft Edge offers you a way to use the legacy infrastructure of IE inside Microsoft Edge.
You can follow the below ways to open an IE link in Edge browser,
In order to enable IE Mode from the Edge browser, you must open the edge browser,
- Firstly, launch the Microsoft Edge browser from the Start menu.

- Next, accessing the website allows you the option to Reload in Internet Explorer mode.
Clear temporary files from MS Edge:

- Next, under Clear browsing data, choose data to clear.
- Then, click on Clear to clean MS Edge temp files.
Restore advanced settings in Internet Options:
