As far as I know, Opera should not be blocking downloads but at most showing a warning depending on the kind of file.

It probably means that there is something wrong on your Windows installation. Maybe you should ask about it in a Windows support forum.

A quick search showed that it may be related to firewalls and/or anti-virus.
