    This is more web design than anything but is there any way to force a download of a media file, such as mp3 or mpg, because my website has a download section and i DONT want them to stream off my web hosting, but i want them to be able to download the files. If its applicable, then i work in ASP. How do i make a script that will force them to download it, regardless of what thier browser settings are?

    Kodo might know better then me in ASP, but the problem is that their browser will do what its told to do via file associations, not sure if you can force download. If its only a couple of them, zip the MP3's up. Dont know if I was much help for you...

    try renaming the extension to CAPS and see if that forces the browsers to download, some browsers dont know CAPS == non-caps :)
