File download preference

Hi

I am trying to allow people to download a movie clip from my website as a
podcast. I would prefer they click on the link and it downloads onto their HD
rather than try and open. What do I have to assign to the link so that it just
downloads? Many thanks in advance.

Hi yea,
you could zip the movie, that will make it download for sure.
if your using asp you could use,

Why not simply link to it and don't care about what the user agent will
do with it?
