Hello

I am working on music artist's website and he has asked me to make his music downloadable from his site. I have found a code that allows zip files to download however, it only works in Firefox and not in Safari.

In Firefox I get a small window that asks if the user wants to open or save the file which is fine. In Safari, I get a webpage that I have to refresh if I want the zip file to download. I do not want the visitors, who use Safari, when visiting my friend's music site to have to refresh a webpage in order to download the zip file. Is there any other code I need to use? Or a better code I should be using?

The code I am currently using is, Code: <a href="folder/filename/zip">Download Now</a>

Thank you.
