+1 on this response by Felix.

I used to have exactly the same behavior but with IE when my work computer was on Windows 7 - every time I tried to download a file it would completely lock up on the 'save as' dialog box. Turned out to be some network folder it was attempting to access but couldn't, yet didn't time out for some reason.
My guess is you are experiencing something similar...
