How can I make a link to a movie file be a download link?
How can I make a link to a movie file be a download link, so that when they click it, it will be as if they right clicked and chose save as... so I don't want the movie to play but be downloaded instead. for both .wmv and .mpg files

Direct link should work... how it's delivered to end user is going to be based on their browser preferences...
