Solution 4

You can't force a user to download a file if they don't want to. To do so would be walking a fine line of creating some sort of virus type application that does things the user did not acknowledge/accept/allow.

I suggest you rethink what it is you are trying to accomplish. For example, if the user does not download this "required" file from your app, don't allow them to proceed further in your apps workflow.

Someone updated the question and launched it to the top of unanswered.

I didn't go digging for this one...given I'm solution 4 it appears someones been deleting solutions along the way too. Oh well.
