Hi,
How do i make .zip files downloadable from my website. I want it so that when you click a picture of what the file contains it brings up the file download box. At the moment all it is doing is trying to open the file in the browser.

Here are a couple examples of how to do it.

Just remove the period inside the first brackets and of course change the link to your file.

The rest is left upto the web browser as to how it should deal with the file.
