There are a couple of pit-falls to look out for when using Andy's method
for force-downloading a file, though this is the best method we have at
the moment (at least as far as I'm aware).

1) You can't use this to force-download large files as the ASP page will
time-out before the file is downloaded.

2) The method won't work on IE5.5 on a Mac. See this post on my blog for
more info...
