Ahh, good tip on the <cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="Attachment; filename=#clipname#"> bit. I have never used that before. Of course, that also means you burn a thread to server the download. I wonder if there is an easy way to link directly to the file, but force apache or IIS to provide the same attachment header trick.

If the link is to a coldfusion page that then grabs the file sets header info and content type.
