I did not understand where did you put sleep(). First off, using sleep
in a user interface thread is not a good practice, neither on limiting
connection.

IE should not download whole file. IE, first reads the header to get
basic information about the file it needs to download. This information
is usually size of file and its MIME type. It may then start
downloading a portion of the file, until it displays "Save as" dialog
and user clicks "Save as". If your file is quite small, then IE may
download whole file before it displays the dialog. Try to test with a
larger file, and avoid Sleep().
