protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e){ Response.Clear(); Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=mymovie.wmv");  Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream"; Response.WriteFile(Server.MapPath(@"~/somefolder/mymovie.wmv"));  Response.End();}
If you're not using ASP.NET, surely PHP has a similar capability.

AddType application/octet-stream wmv
