hello,
 i keep telling my visitors to right-click and "save target as" (or other=

browser equivalent) when downloading various high-res video files located o=
n=20
my server... but they don't pay attention. they continue to left-click the=
=20
links, forcing these files to load in their media-players, often with very=
=20
poor, choppy performance... as my connection is simply not fast enough to=

support their play in real-time.
 i want these files to be downloaded to the user's hard-drives only once=20
(take the file and go away)... rather than having them return to the site=
=20
every time they want to view the clip.
 how can i force a "file-download" without waking up their players?
