Hello Jay,
Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!
I have a few questions about your question:
(a) not you get an error when you try to download?
(b) where you are trying to download music and video files from?
Method 1:
You can try the system to the boot and they try to download the files. Any program background may interfere with the download. To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
The steps to perform a clean boot are given below:
Step 1: Open the System Configuration utility
1. click on Start, click run, type msconfigand click OK.
2. the System Configuration utility dialog box appears.
Step 2: Configure selective startup options
1. in the System Configuration utility dialog box, click the general tab, and then click Selective startup.
2. Click to clear the Process SYSTEM. INI file check.
3. Click to clear the process to WIN. INI file check.
4. Click to clear the Load Startup items check box. Check The Load System Services and to use Original BOOT. INI are checked.
5. click on the Services tab.
6. Click to select the hide all Microsoft Services check box.
7. click on disable alland then click OK.
8. When you are prompted, click restart to restart the computer
Once you have set the system boot, you can try to download the files and check if you get the same problem or not.

When I copy a CD with Windows Media Player, I get the message pop up after the investigation period is over: "Windows Media Player cannot download the media for this CD information. The other titles, artist, and album will be identified as "Unknown" in your library. For best results, connect to the Internet or manually add media for CD information. »
I know that the message appears when I turn on the setting to allow WMP to connect to the internet to get information about the media, but I don't want WMP does. What I want is a button I can push on the pop-up that says "don't show this message again" (similar to the warnings seen in internet explore). How can I disable this pop-up window without activating the internet connection option.
In case you're wondering, the data from the internet are incompatible in the naming convention so when I rip an audio book, so I can listen to my mp3 player, I can't completely post-processing script because not all of the disks in a set have a coherent on the slopes or even name the disc etc. At least drives marked 'Unknown' is consistent and so easy to script for the reduction to a single MP3 file.

2-go to: Apple icon > system preferences > Security & Privacy > General > "allow applications downloaded on" change that to ANYWHERE (to make these changes click the padlock in the corner at the bottom left of this window and enter your computer password)
