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=

my server... but they don't pay attention. they continue to left-click the=

=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=

every time they want to view the clip.
