When they first click on the file their browser will make a request for type, size etc then when it display's the dialog box on the screen of the client it will make another request to start the download.
I get around this by putting the session id into the database and if it is double requested within 5 seconds to discard. So you will need to do a select, num_rows then if below 1 insert.
