You do not need any program to download files. Internet Explorer or any other browser should be able to accommodate this.

A Good Anti-Virus Program

Like the other reply says you shouldn't need any download programs as long as you have an internet browser BUT I strongly suggest you have a good anti virus program since some games sites are notorious for being the source of viruses.
