For the HTTPS site problem, check your Firefox browser setting:

(Firefox) Tools-->Options-->Advanced-->Security or Certificates

To download what? Applications? Updates?

To download and install applications from the repository:

sudo apt-get install application_name

To install updates:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get update

To install the Java Runtime:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sun-java-community-team/sun-java6
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin sun-java6-plugin

HTH.
