Force File Download
Sometimes instead of letting a user view an Image or PDF I would rather them download it, This method below Forces the File (Doc / MP3 / PDF / Images) etc.. to be downloaded rather than rendered. This can save time and bandwidth on a website rather than the user continaully streaming the data on a frequent basis.
