I think this is tricky because you will need to block or intercept the download call by stopping events from firing. You can try playing around with DownloadBegin and NewWindow3 and NewWindow Events. You will also need to detect mouse or link clicking on a specific url linking to a file extension and from there, handle your own event to manage the download, perhaps through web request? Post back when you have some code and we can go from there.

Hey Member 11202273,

It's probably easier to use something like Awesomium to handle downloads. Here's an article on how to setup Awesomium, which should help: http://techviewhd.freeforums.net/thread/7/web-browser-control-alternative-awesomium[^]

And here are some answered questions on how to implement a Downloads Manager with Awesomium: http://techviewhd.freeforums.net/thread/93/modify-system-downloads-awesomium[^] and http://techviewhd.freeforums.net/thread/27/solved-awesomium-handling-downloads[^]

Hope this helps! ;)
