I have news conference updates that I need to allow users to download.  If they click on the link to the file it starts to play instead of allowing them to save it.  How can I change it to so it starts downloading ?

I have a button that says listen and one that says download so I need them to be different.

Thanks

I'm not expert here... but this has to do with MIME types.  The approach I see taken most often is the one that says "right click this link, and select 'save as' to download".  The reason is because the browser typically understands the association of the file being linked and some application on your computer.  It IS ( I believe ) possible to force a different kind of download stream... not my area of expertise.
