give them a small clip to check out and put the full file in a zipped =
folder. A zipped folder can only be downloaded. Just a thought. Ron:

  Subject: [Xitami] targeting file downloads


  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 on my server... but they don't pay attention.  they continue to =
left-click the links, forcing these files to load in their =
media-players, often with very 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 (take the file and go away)... rather than having them return to =
the site every time they want to view the clip.

  how can i force a "file-download" without waking up their players?

  rick
