Go to Opera Preferences, in Programs, select all file types as well as protocols...

Still some programs may use IE because they are invoking not the url but the program... In that case, there is no alternative AFAIK...

Regarding the download manager, check out the website of the software to see if there is support for Opera...

PS: If Free Download Manager is the software you are using, it has feature to integrate with Opera... Just check out its options/preferences menus...

Goto Control Panel--->Add or Remove Programs--->Set Program Access and Defaults.

Set Custom Configuration and select Opera as default browser.If still IE opens, then disable access to IE in "Set Program Access and Defaults".

Heres a screenshot to help you. :)
