Here's the simple general idea (untested):
var count = 10;
var timer = null;
function countdown() {
if (count >= 0) {
count--;
$("#time").text(count); // update count
}
else {
window.clearInterval(timer); // stop the timer
location.href = 'file.zip';
}
}
// do countdown every second
timer = window.setInterval(countdown, 1000);
Your download will begin in <span id="time">10</span> seconds
