That would be browser dependent, something you have no control over. Maybe
you can include a little text message saying "right-click save as" for the
users not intelligent enough to figure it out themselves.

Subject: force download
some of my users are complaining that when they try download media files
(mp3, mpeg, etc) their media player opens and doesn't allow them to
physically download the media. These are IE users, firefox seems to like
my code, but IE refuses to download the file and plays it instead..
can anyone view my code and see how i can force media file downloads on
IE?
