Subject: enterprise desktop web app: should it download or email a file to user?

My enterprise Flex desktop web app (yet to be released) has a feature allowing 
users to download a user guide for the application.

Since this file gets stored on a user's hard drive (rather than cache memory), 
I wonder if anyone ever ran into problems with an enterprise not allowing their 
employees to download a file from the internet to their hard drive (for 
example, the IT department blocks this kind of functionality)?

If so, I could change the web app to attaching the file in an e-mail and 
sending it to them instead.

Wondering if anyone has an opinion one way or the other which way to go here.
