Hi there,
I know already how to let friends to download a .zip file from my website:
<a href="http://www.my website/files/file.zip>-some-comment-</a>

Now, i want to do the same with .avi files, like this for instance:
<a href="http://www.my website/files/file.avi>-some-comment-</a>

However, when clicking on it, it starts playing, not transferring to my friends computer.
Can anybody help me with this ?

1. If they don't know how to save files already, tell them (on your page) to right-click over the link an choose Save Target As (or similar depending on the browser used).

2. Zip'em up.

3. http://htmlhelp.com/faq/html/links.html#force-download

I'd go with 1.
